She's Home

Miss Lucy is home and it was so good to see her. We know that dad takes very good care of her but it's still nice to see her in person and know she's doing well.



It's just over a week until we leave for Knitting Camp. The store will be open and Cathy will be looking after everything in Ancaster.

Quite a few knitters come on their own so we want to make sure they feel welcome and part of the group. On Thursday evening we divide everyone into teams and play games. Beth and I have been working on these and we've come up with some new ones. 


I've been sharing pictures of our current knitting projects for the Woodstock Fleece Festival. Sarah, Wannietta and I are using fingering weight. If you want to try colour work on slightly larger needles, take a look at Humulus.
Sarah used Woolstok and Dream State for hers.
Humulus is worked seamlessly from the top down. First some Short Rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the round- yoke is worked top down to sleeve separation. Some last short-rows are worked to finish the yoke shaping right before sleeve stitches are placed on hold, then the body is worked in rounds down to the hem. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs last.

Now it's back to working on Game Night.
