What do you mean it’s July? Where did June go?
Oh, yeah. First there was TNNA, where Sandra McIver’s knit, Swirl! was the hit of the show floor. Then, right on its heels, Knitters Connection. Whew! First time I taught eight classes in the span of four days. No wonder I was exhausted when I got home. But just a few days later it was Black Sheep Gathering, one of my favorite events—this year, we were blessed with near-perfect weather, not too hot and not too cool. And now? Time to prep for Sock Summit!
But I have managed to squeeze in some knitting. The felted bag I mentioned in my last post? Got the knitting done during TNNA; all that remains is the felting. Hmm… The washer’s empty; maybe now’s the time.
And I ripped the lace scarf I’d started. The Malabrigo Lace was screaming for a simpler stitch pattern. So, inspired by teaching Multi-directional Scarves at Knitters Connection, I started a multi-directional scarf. It’s just the basic scarf, composed soley of simple triangles and no diamonds. To hold my interest, though, I’m throwing a few eyelet rows into the garter-stitch base. So far, I’m liking the results.
much better
It looks kind of ratty now, but I’m sure it’ll smarten up with blocking.
Gotta go, July’s going to be over with before I know it…
