Sometimes you need to know when to quit.
There was no way I was going to finish the christening shawl by today. The edging alone has 1200+ stitches. Needless to say, I’m back to the sock commitments that I need to fulfill and hopefully will have the Zur Lederhos’n socks out to Yarnissima on Monday.
I’m further along than this photo shows. The shawl is now slated as a Christmas present. Hopefully M can wear it for her first holy communion or her confirmation or something.
We (Sharon and I) finally got the etsy shop up and running. Come check out our yarn and fiber selection: Stitches ‘n Rows. We also had our first vending experience at this year’s Schuylkill River Fest in Pottstown, PA. Here’s our little booth:
And a visitor to Sharon’s CPW:
We had beautiful weather and our Cheeky came out to demo spindling and was a great sales person – we thank her for this!
Currently, I’m spinning some superwash Merino from Pigeonroof Studios, in the Squall colorway:
I have some 50/50 baby alpaca/superfine merino on another bobbin and I need to take a photo of that as well.
But, mostly I’ve been knitting on socks and spending time with these two:
I love that they hang out on the couch together!
Rhinebeck is this weekend and I’ll be there on Saturday only. Come say Hi if you see me!
I put rhinebeck on my calendar for next year. I swear I am going to go this time!
You simply must come! I said so.
Awww! They are so sweet.
Have fun at Rhinebeck!
Thanks Lori!
No students or staff permitted in your booth, huh? That’s awfully picky of you! Great pic of boy-and-Haley, and all your colors are awesome! Wish I could go to Rhinebeck. Maybe next year …
You really need to come to rhinebeck. You can bunk with us I am sure of it
And that’s the community college’s sign, we had tons of “students” as in little kids in our booth but I suspect that had something to do with the bucket of candy …
I’m sorry you didn’t get the lace done in time. I’m looking forward to seeing it once it’s done.
Love the photo of your little family.
