My day started at 3:30 AM EST and it is now 8:00 PM PT (11:00 PM EST). Boy am I tired. The flight from Columbus to San Diego was uneventful and I got a lot of knitting done. For those of you that don’t know, I am in San Diego to buy yarn for the spring and summer. What FUN! I can’t wait to see all the new yarns and fashions for spring. More later, I am off to bed.
Have you checked out the new “Gedifra Moments 2008” book? Jan has - and has just started sweater 1320. Made with the new yarn Diandra in “Aubergine“, it promises to be another masterpiece! This shade will look great on her.
How does she do it?? Megan somehow finds the time to knit great projects. She, too, is making up her own sweater pattern (based on one from Knitting Pure and Simple) using Plymouth Tweed in “Plum“. It is beautiful - we can’t wait to see the finished garment!
The ever-energetic Barb has started the “Flutter Sleeve Cardigan” found in the Spring 2008 Interweave Knits Magazine. She has chosen a gorgeous deep red in Silky Wool. She has wanted to do a project in this yarn forever, and is loving it so far. Her fingers have been flying - she has already completed the back, and is doing both sides of the front simultaneously! You go girl!!
Our ultra-creative Stephanie is working on a sweater of her own design! Using Barbara Walker’s book “Knitting from the Top Down“, she is knitting a raglan sleeve sweater using Ultra Alpaca in “Fig“. She reports that she LOVES working with Ultra Alpaca - the alpaca makes it soft while the wool gives it structure. It also comes in amazing colorways, and is good value. It knits 5 stitches to the inch, which means you can wear the sweater indoors without sweating to death! Check back to see her progress.
