A very Triumphant Sophie as she drags a choice bit of knitting off the bottom shelf in the closet! I need to puppy proof the house!
It takes forever to arrive and is finished in no time flat! It is Mad About Ewe’s Annual Retreat and I am as ready as I can be….
The samples are done, my bags are packed and the handout is printing! Sophie has been helping me, making sure that I get my exercise and find everything that she thinks that I might need or that she might like to chew!
I hope that you have a great weekend whatever you are doing. Mine will be very busy and filled with a lot of laughter and fun. Forty Women, knitting, eating and sharing their knitting trials and triumphs!
Samples are all done!
The next piece of the Dark of the Morning KAL will be released Monday Feb 13, around 10:00 am Pacific time.
I have just finished knitting the third project for the Retreat! The Entrelac Cowl is finished (except for weaving in the ends)! Emily tried it on yesterday and the effect is just what I wanted – I was worried it was looking very plain and uninteresting. Once on though, like many knits it looks much better!
4th project for the Retreat - A welted Moebius! Koigu Kersti and Diamond Luxury, Mulberry and Merino! The colours just sing!
Now I get to work on the fourth project – the Welted Moebius – this one is for me, I picked colours that I loved and yarn that I loved and will wear! The combination of the hand-dyed Kersti and the solid coloured but very shiny Mulberry and Merino will make a stunning welted pattern! I get to start that tonight!

After a month of playing with the Symphonie Rose interchangeables – I am still in love. I’ve worked with the 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm and 5.0mm so far and look forward to trying the rest. The joins have remained firm and smooth and the sharper than average needle tips have been fabulous for all of the yarns I have worked with. The cords are very flexible as well. Thank-you Emily!
They – the weathermen- are calling for snow this weekend! I kinda hope so – I’ll stay in and knit or go out and take some pictures; maybe play with the tripod and try some long exposure shots or maybe some shots of snow falling. Either option sounds great!
Trying to capture snowflakes last year! I know more now, maybe I'll be more successful!
Happy Knitting
