Next Project

As you know by now, I'm a huge fan of Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed.  His knitting patterns are impecably written and are absolutely gorgeous to look at.  This is my next project.  Pattern is called Autumn Leaves Stole.  Yarn is 100% wool, worsted weight also by Brooklyn Tweed.  Colour: Plume.   The stitches are on the needles and I'm ready to start the pattern.  Stay tuned for photos of work in progress.

The Guernsey Wrap

Finished in just a little over a month.  This piece is not very difficult - just combinations of knit and purl stitches, yet I've had more compliments on this piece than any. 

I'm loving all Brooklyn Tweed designs.  Jared Flood has such an eye for detail and his patterns are beautifully written.  Yarn is Shelter in Almanac by Brooklyn Tweed. 

It's been a while!  Getting back to my Blog is at the top of my to-do list, so here I am.  I won't bore you with an update since my last post but I thought I'd start where I am and move forward.  Recent highlights: 

• I've started a knitting group.  We meet here at my place every second Friday morning.  Just four of us.  We have a great time sharing ideas, and cheering eachother on.
• My wonderful husband Keith had a big job interview this afternoon.  Please send positive thoughts his way.
• Just finished putting together a book log for my Mom.   Since 1995 she has read over 1,200 books and has documented each title and author.  I offered to type it for her.  I had no idea what I was in for.  It turned out to be a six month project.  Mission Accomplished!
• Just ordered 24 skeins of yarn from Booklyn Tweed.  Jared Flood is my all time favourite pattern writer.  His work is pretty amazing.  http://brooklyntweed.net/about.html   My winter projects are three of his designs - Ashby, Kindling, and the Guernsey Wrap.  LOVE!

Well that just about covers all the important stuff for this week.  Will post photos of projects soon. 

Hope you're all staying warm and cozy with project that make you smile.  xo
