• monday check-in

    The frogged Eco wool from my last post is back on the needles again, this time as a cozy winter sweater for D! It’s my own design, and will have nice big pockets, set-in sleeves, and a shawl collar (it’s a cardigan).

    It’s working up nice and quickly on 5mm (US 8) needles as a break from smaller stuff, and I got some nice knitting time in the car over the weekend.

    tease!

    A little peek at what I’m working on right now – it’s great fun, and I hope to be able to share very very soon!

  • what I bought

    I didn’t buy a lot of stuff at Rhinebeck this year, because the budget (and space) is tight, plus we traveled with just carry on luggage! I didn’t even buy any fiber, which is a bit weird since it was the only thing I had on my list. Hm.

    wool fabric, project bag

    Two fat quarters of wool herringbone, and a Rhinebeck project bag.

    greenwood hill merino

    DK weight from Greenwood Hill Merino, which I always ogle!

    buttons

    Beautiful buttons from the inimitable Jennie the potter – I love the gingko leaves.

    green mountain spinnery sock yarn

    A skein of squishy, bouncy sock yarn from Green Mountain Spinnery.

    coffee scoop

    A coffee scoop from Chester P. Basil’s. I want one of everything from them!

    We do a secret gift exchange at the Rhinebeck house, and I received this pretty half apron from Christina! Thank you lovely lady!
