Great American Afghan

I am gearing up for the Great American Afghan Knit-a-long that will start on Sat March 8. Stop by to see the first square that we will be doing. Each square teaches different techniques and they are fun to do. The square on the left is block #3 knit from Cascade 220 yarn.

I will also be hosting a Knit Kimono Trunk show from March 31 through April 5 and a Hanne Falkenburg trunk show from April 18 through April 26.

New Year

I haven't posted for awhile because of a busy holiday season. I am still knitting away, trying to finish the Adult Surprise Jacket from Elizabeth Zimmerman. I am using a beautiful soft hand dyed worsted weight yarn called Peru from Blue Moon Fibers. It is 50% Alpaca, 30% merino and 20% silk.

I am still knitting on my Oregon Cardigan and have gotten past the armholes. As you can see it is coming along very nicely. Too many projects and not enough time to knit for the store and also for myself.

I also finished a vest for my husband that I haven't taken a picture of yet, but will post it as soon as I do.

Fair Isle at Yarn For All Seasons

I wanted to show you how my Alice Starmore Oregon Cardigan is progressing. The good news is that in the new issue of Vogue Holiday Knitting magazine, Alice Starmore has included the pattern for this out of print design. She has done it in an Autumn colorway. Anyone who wishes to do this cardigan should pick up the new Vogue Knitting Magazine due in stores soon.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Have fun felting all your projects to decorate your house.

Fair Isle at Yarn For All Seasons

Everyone is having great fun creating their fair isle sweaters. Cindy is a wonderful teacher and all the sweater colors are spectacular. The students are doing either a different design or using slightly different colors. The results are stunning as you can see by the works in progress at the left.

It's been awhile sinced I last posted. I have been busy with classes and I have just started a fair isle sweater. I am doing the Alice Starmore Oregon Cardigan. I will post a picture when I have more on my needles.

I just finished Elizabeth Zimmerman's February Baby Sweater from The Knitter's Almanac. It was fun to knit and came out nice. I still have buttons to put on it. I used RY Classic Cashsoft DK yarn in Kingfisher. I may do a class on this sweater because the directions are a bit sketchy.

New Classes

Two new classes have been added for September. The first is fingerless gloves using the magic loop technique and the second is a beginning lace scarf. Stop by to see them in person and sign up. Both will be fun to do!
