Yarn Along - Travel, Vogue Knitting and Fair Isle
Joining wonderful "craft party" at Small Things today.
I would love to thank you all for your kind wishes on my birthday! I am really touched by all the wonderful and kind words! Thank you! Yarn giveaway is still open, so jump right in!We went for a long hike in the mountain forest and I couldn't spend my birthday better! The sound of wind playing with the fallen leaves and the song of the mountain spring were the best music for my ears! We found a very beautiful place and I would love to come back there once again and camp.
Knitting. As for my craft progress, I am slow, but steady. Xanadu cowl is being painted in more and more snowflakes. I am still struggling with the tension, so the progress is not that far away. I am knitting very slowly while learning the best way for me to change the colors and keeping track of the chart. The more I look at the cowl, the more I realize how perfect it would be for my dear Granny. She has green eyes and she would definitely overlook all the imperfections of it :) I am going to visit my family this summer, which means it is time to start my gift knitting!! I was a completely selfish knitter for Christmas, but I just can't leave my dear ladies without hand knit gifts when I come to visit them!
Ocean is off the knitting machine and on the needles for the hand knit textured lace section.
It looks quiet shapeless at this stage, but blocking and seaming will fix it. I am really enjoying this project and hope all my mods plans will work out for it!
Reading. I was so excited to find The Ultimate Knitting book by Vogue Knitting in the local library! It was in the dusty corner and according to its card the last person took it in 2005! This is history :) I bought the latest addition of it a couple of years ago, but the hurricane teared it up to pieces. It's nice to refresh the info I got from this great reference book!
I hope all is well with you and you are having a great week!
