The Calm

Jackson Falls Country Inn

Ah, Jackson Falls…I had a great time, met some lovely people and reconnected with others. It was a pleasure to meet the very talented Laura Chau. I really enjoyed teaching my classes and of course, I loved throwing over my diet for the beautiful food by Lee and Paul. But I am loving this delicious, post-retreat calm before the storm of the holidays. These warm, rainy days are perfect for knitting and for taking stock. I’ve got Papa home for a few days, so I’m trying to do as little work as possible in favor of cooking, eating and knitting.

Minky Baby Sweater

This pretty baby sweater is an absolute delight to knit (despite a little error in the separation row instructions). I am in love with this beautiful mink yarn that I picked up a couple of years ago at Passionknit in Toronto. This is Lotus Yarns, “Miya”, 70% mink, 20% merino, 10% silk. Divine. And I love the color! Grass. It is so enjoyable to knit that it is coming along very quickly.

Orchid Socks

I had quite a lot of time to work on my orchid socks while at the retreat. I’ve finished my Fleegle increases and am about to start working the short rows. Then, I think I’ll just knit until I run out of yarn. This color is just blowing my mind! <Said she of “black, gray and beige” fame.>

Fabric for Project Bags

I bought these two fabulous new Covington fabrics about three weeks ago and I honestly can’t decide which one I like better! They’ll find new life as project bags and needle cases which will be for sale at the shop for Christmas. I’ve got a new design for needle cases that I think will make many a knitter happy at Christmas time 🙂

Dark & Stormy by Thea ColmanThen, there’s this. As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite things about the change in the seasons is finding half-finished projects that I didn’t quite finish last year. They give me such a nice head start! This time, it’s Dark and Stormy from Baby Cocktails. I can’t wait to finish and wear this sweater. Honestly, I’d have finished it long ago but got worried that I’d run out of yarn. I’ve just ordered a little more Wool of the Andes from KnitPicks.
