My New year always begins with me knee-deep in men’s sweaters…
Frank’s birthday sweater! (January 16th!) “Gothom” (MY version of it)
Soon after that I found myself in DEEP with a different knitting technique…
“Aspen Leaf”
I sure found myself in a few “Oh Oh” moments while vacationing! -Insert picture of broken pesto jar here! : ) (NOT!) All while knitting that scarf… I so wanted to be pretty in Pink… Opps! I mean RED! (Pink is coming!)
RED Path to Wonderland…
Frank wants a TWEED wonder and won’t leave me be. He pays for 50 % of the mega expensive cashmere…. But it takes a while to get here. So in the meantime:
Oh My. Pink is ON the menu. (I’m getting a Granddaughter!)
“Cat’s CAN be pink” The main sweater I’ve waited many years to knit!
“Sheelin Lough” So expensive; It’s for Sundays only! Easter being a good start. Eh?
“Lavender Blue Dilly Dilly”
Oh Joy…more pretty baby things! This whole ensemble started out as charity baby knitting inspired by a CAT onesie. (?) However it morphed into someit completely different when a swan swam in from Amazon! I was having WAY to much fun! This became a “Coming Home” ensemble to Welcome: “Emmalina Isobella”
“Garden Variety Tweed”
Ok. I still have some Charity baby knitting in me! But brewing and stewing is a hen house of chickens left unattended! (this began when a hand-paint speckle came in the mail which happened to be tittled: “Fox in the henhouse”
“Fox in the Hen House” Hand-paint speckle
This yarn undid me ! It got IN my brain and I had brain pain insane!
The lovely shawl of rescued chickens…
“Fox In The Hen House” (blocking)
I had quite a bit o’ stress in my life during the Covid -19 quarentine. Eh? Yarns that went missing in the post and some that did come, turned out NOT to be the right hue. I also broke my arm. (?) NOTHING stops me from knitting. I braced up the arm and dove head on into a cotton/merino blend of yarn which I knit fiendishly as I just LOVE the feel of this yarn. (Cascade Anchor Bay) It is so lovely to touch and KNIT that I knit a hoodie in a week. (a record?) ? : )))
“Anchor Bay Hoodie”
Up to date with my knitting show & tell Now. Yet.. Still in CAT mode! I have yet another baby ensemble to come that I am working on: The Cat’s Meow” (OMG! It’s got a KNIT cat in it!) I’ll get that up here too, soon! But I’ll leave you with this:
The well traveled COVID-19 wonder yarn! MIA for 2 full months!
WHAT was I planning to make with this anyways??? haahah all ideas welcome. : )
