So? I raided the handspun stash...wanna make somethin' of it? Do ya? I started with one ball of Gold Mine and I think that the whole thing is going to be mine, by the looks of it. I am so loving this Blue Faces Leicester (yes, it is going on the site soon...sport weight, 1320 ypp) and thought that I should pair these two for a sweater that I found again, when there was all of this chatter about a Jade S pattern (I was off in my magazines by a year but I am now glad that I was...) This is the Lofty Cables and Lace Pullover by Sandy Cushman from the IK issue Winter 00/01. How much do I love that I can roar right along on this with my size 11 needles? Oh...with my schedule, this if fabulous. Plus...with angora, I need lots and lots of loft so that I do not ROAST.
Stayed home this weekend. Yes, I know...what a weenie. We decided that the timing is just OFF and it would not be possible to move right now. Hell, I'd have to put the business into a doublewide while making this place look like a model home. Not going to happen, my friends...not right now while I am trying to recoup my lost Sock! time AND get ready for Stitches East. I know...easy for YOU to say that I should just go for it. :o) Tinkerbelle, you can breathe again.
I got a lovely picture in the inbox this weekend, from Phyllis who turned some Can't Elope Sock into the Adamas shawl by Miriam Felton. You can see how it knits up on socks here.
Teaser of the day. I got a picture from a certain Podcaster today and she is going to be offering a free sock pattern very soon for the sock in the picture and we will linkydink you up here and on the site when she gives me the green light. Keep checking... :o)
If that particular house is meant to be, it'll happen in its own good time. Meantime, that shawl is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see more of that sweater.
