So excited tonight is the first Wednesday Knit Knight (Suzanne's spelling not mine)! What to bring, what to knit, what to drink - so much planning I can hardly stand it! Now the sad realization that my life has been reduced to THIS much excitement about a knit night.
I am in the process of moving my store for the fifth (yes 5 times) time. Circumstances have made each move necessary and stupidity had made me actually make each move instead of packing it in and waving the white flag. I could do a whole blog on just the consignment business and consignors, but why relive my hell when I can escape into the world of wool (and any other fiber that happens to flip my skirt).
I just received an email from my dutch friend Astrid and she has shipped my Kauni on June 26 so with the astronomical postage I paid I should receive the package sometime next week. I don't know why this yarn has caught my fancy so much.
I am on the hunt for a cute sock pattern for my daughter. Something with a design not too hard. I find all sorts of women sock pattern but they are too big for the little one. So onward I search.
I LOVE the baby sweater I am knitting for Suzanne from the book GREETINGS FROM KNIT CAFE. It is made from the prettiest pumpkin color Debbie Bliss - cathay. (I am teaching myself to post pictures)
Next knit is the Clapotis that I am making out of Blue Heron Beaded Rayon - Have NO idea what color as I accidentally threw out the label. But as you can see I have been able to drop stitches though as certain lady with CLAP had her doubts - thanks Jude!
And last but not least I am making the most adorable tank/vest top from Lucinda Guy's And So To Bed.... for my daughter Molly the yarn I bought during my yarn trip to Web's with Suzanne - WOW what a warehouse definitely worth the trip!
Enough fun for me today back to work and playing taxi for the kids! I need to finish because I am going to Knit Knight !

Are we talking cocktails at knit knight or just a soft drink? I had a little too much to drink last Saturday night and had to frog and reknit everything I had done about 40-50 rows.
Should we plan a yarn crawl in NYC or somewhere? You know.... a little yarn, a little food and a lot to drink. And of course, a weekend away from the family!
So what did you end up slurping at knit knight? Your projects are looking good!!! I expect you to be modeling the clap at Wiawaka in September. My shawl is 3/4 finished now but I'm thinking of ripping back just to have that cast on experience again.
Ooooh, Diana has a good idea about the yarn crawl in NYC! Count me in for sure.
