I would be idealess without Annie

The yarn is arriving in the store faster than even I can keep up with.
There is the Bandelier sock (from Fall Interweave Knits)
knitalong proposed by Annie, using Brown Sheep Naturespun.
I had to replace the colors with "my" color palette, of course.

Others are being more compliant and using the suggested
colors. Others are not joining in at all, having issues with
both sock knitting and color work. I think it's going to be
great fun!


I'm just finishing up the sweater from Simple Style
using Punta Merisoft. Another idea I
stole from Annie.
Hers was so beautiful and soft and light, I couldn't resist.










We just got the Peruvia book from Berroco (discovered by Annie, of course)
The cover coat is absolutely phenomenal, but so are a couple of little gems
inside. I felt the immediate need to cast on for "poska", having a debate
with myself about whether to use Peruvia or Lanaloft, and deciding on Lanaloft.
The back is finished, the front about 1/3 done.

I guess that Selma is the backdrop for the very cute socks, all ready to go to the sock summit. I am the happy owner of
little sock earrings. Only Sheila
(or Selma!) would have the
patience for these.

















It has been a long time since a post, of which I have been gently reminded. Sheila has been and returned from the Sock Summit, summer is waning, yarn has been spun and knitted. My spinning wheel family has acquired an adlorable new addition: The Hitchhiker. I have not quite conquered it, but I'm getting there, and I love it.



I have just discovered a new podcast. It's called Electric Sheep; the host has a most beautiful way with words and a gorgeous accent. She is very English (or as she apparently prefers, British) and I could listen forever. She won my heart when she admitted to having spatial issues.
I'm a little more than halfway through the series and recommend it to anyone who enjoys that kind of thing.
