I’m going to attempt the Airy Cardigan from Interweave (Win 2004). We shall see how it goes. Do I have gauge? Who knows, it depends on how much (or little) you stretch it. Thinking of moving forward anyhow.

On to the blurbs:

  • MA Sheep and Wool show today = big fun! No pictures yet of my aquistions, but there were a few things acquired.
  • Got home in time to make it to Pam’s sample sale. Oh my goodness!! Let’s just say I was lucky that there was only a few minutes left and 3/4 of the fabric remnants were already put away. I left there spending a bit over 11.00 and got two beautiful remnants. Remnants!! Some of them were huge, like 10 yards or more. Not the ones I got of course - one is about a yard and the other is maybe 3/4’s. If there had been more time more money would have been gone. I was grabbing as they were packing up as it is.
  • And just cuz I like to keep you all updated on knitterly events, did you catch this article? Busted big time. Yowzza that’s a lot of yarn.
  • I’m thinking of signing up for Summer of Stash I need to sign up for this, especially after my participation in Buy More Yarn. Let’s just say I’m stalked for a bit.
  • Speaking of sign-ups I have not mentioned yet that I’m participating in Dye-O-Rama. If my buddy happens to be reading this - surprise me. Colors are your choice. I’m sorry I never emailed you back, it was accidentaly trashed before I got the chance to reply
Sorry about the bad photos. Photoshop is not loaded yet so no corrections were done for the bad late night lightining.
