Last week I went on vacation at Ossipee Lake, NH. I felt like Noah, ready to build an ark. And the children (well, mostly young adults) also came 2 by 2. But my great advantage over Noah was that I could Knit and knit and knit.
I absolutely adored knitting this project: a "Cardigan for Arwen" from Interweave Knits winter 2006. The yarn I used was awesome to work with: Tahki"s Savoy, a lovely silk wool blend. Thank you Kate Gilbert for a delightful knit.I also have a couple more UFO that have become FOs!!!
Just finishi ng this goes way beyond major accomplishment. It's an Alice Starmore that was really a fantasy, not a pattern. I must have knit this fool sweater 3 times over to get it right. I hope the person who comissioned it is finally pleased!
And a fun bag that only needed lining. Voila! New knitting bag!
To boot, I started a pair of socks for my Mom, appropriately named "Raindrop Lace"
and am redesigning a market bag from Schaefer Yarn "Laurel"...a July Yarn of the Month, 20% off!
That's all for now.
Enjoy your knitting.
