Lace and Any Spun Thread
Long time no post! I have been dying up a storm, Gourmet sock is back in stock at Urban yarns and and it is now available at AnySpunThread. This is a cute online shop run by the charming and witty Sheryl. We met a while ago when she attended my Fiddlehead mitten class and it was love at first Simpsons reference. She has the whole run including the New Tofino Fern colourway. Although this pic is from a summer trip it’s kind of fitting that it’s coming out now because I just got back from a lovely weekend there with Emily, another charming knitter. I’ve also been dying up some new base yarns which will be coming soon!
Well, the Olympics are over (it’s been a week, when does the sadness go away?) and my sweater is still not done. While I do feel like a bit of a failure I have had lots of reassurances that it was a really hard project and I’ve done well. This tells me I have surrounded myself with nice people who had more reasonable expectations of how much they could knit in 2 weeks and a couple of days. Anyway, I’m over it and I moved on to a couple of new projects in the beautiful Cashsilk Lace from SweetGeorgia. I spent the weekend taking serious advantage of Emily’s lace expertise.

They sound like hippy children kind of.They are coming together beautifully! I’m on a mission to master the world of lace this summer in an effort to knit all of the amazing lace and sock yarn I seem to have accrued. My hubby is out of town next weekend and it is time to reassess the stash. It could get ugly!
