Meeting Jared

It was SO nice to meet Jared Flood and be able to show him my Girasole and Hemlock Ring! He did a book signing at Churchmouse Yarn and Teas and was so personable and wonderful. I was surprised he was so accomplished at such a young age! The evening was very nice with many of his pieces on display as well as champagne and chocolates! Yum! I hope all of you will have an opportunity to meet Jared at some point, as well as knit one of his designs!

I'm still here and still creating!

It's been ages and I have been working on projects, just not writing on this blog. I love the project I'm posting today. It's called Girasole by Jared Flood. It is a fun project but when you work up to 640 stitches on the needle it takes great determinations to keep foraging ahead to finish it. BUT it IS finished and I'm glad I hung in there. Jared Flood is the designer and he will be appearing in the Seattle area, so I intend to take it to show him. I also have another one in red started!

Glinda!

This is the Glinda sock offered by the Woolgirl Oz Sock Club. I loved the yarn (Madelinetosh Sock)and I loved the pattern! This will be a pattern that I definitely will make again. It is designed by Bethany Whitney for the sock club and you make cables without a cable needle. It's a technique that I hadn't done before and I struggled a little at first, but once I got it, I loved the technique. A must pattern for a sock knitter.

I Can't Believe it's July!

Where is time going? It seems it just flies by and seasons change faster than I can enjoy them. How come work days don't fly by that fast? lol Here is my latest candle mat. These are fun little projects and usually only take a day or two to make. Have a Happy 4th of July!
