I'd rather knit than blog...

So here's a quickie entry on the fly.

Shalom cardi is done, fits loosely, and needs a good blocking that I haven't gotten around to just yet.

Crescent-shaped garter stitch shawl done, knitted on impulse from Dream in Color Smooshy Cashmere.  DEEEElicious yarn!  Needs blocking, of course!















My "Some Kind Of Wonderful" socks, from STR medwt are swimming along after many early re-dos.  The first sock is done, and the second is in the middle of the heel.  I bought this yarn at MSWF in 2011, and would love to have the pair finished by this year, but since that's in three days, we'll see!

Went to the Homespun Yarn Party in March at Savage Mill in Laurel MD.  Brought home two pretties -

Left is from Wild Hare Studios, a pretty and somewhat thick sock yarn.  Right is a monochrome mini skein sock kit from Wullenstudio, who is local to me and I totally love.

Went to The Mannings in April with my friend Jessica (yes, we are a pair of Jessicas!), and brought home a few more pretties -

The left and right are Indulgance 6ply sock yarns, for socks for ME!  The middle is a lonely skein of Koigu that called my name.  I'm a sucker for purple.

I'm also working on a lengthwise, garter stitch scarf.  It's about 400 stitches across, knit out of solid black and KnitPicks Chroma Worsted in Roller Skate colorway.  Here's a picture of a bit of it, along with the cute ThirtyOne zip pouch I ordered for myself along with my last party-

This Saturday is something we look forward to all year long - the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival!!  Can't wait!!
