Blossoms

I wondered why my Nightshift didn't look as amazing as it should have when I took pictures the other day. Then it hit me. I didn't hang it by the long edge. Now it looks better. It looks like a shawl.

The pattern is super easy and very addictive. Just one more row.

It's time to pick colours for The Throwback (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Wannietta is working away on hers. Sarah is picking her last colour of Dream State tomorrow. Lynn and I need to get moving!

This sweater was inspired by my childhood and weekends spent in northern Michigan on the sand dunes. It is my favorite cardigan for layering and keeping warm all Autumn and Winter long! This sweater is worked flat from the top down, seamlessly, except for the sleeves which are knit in the round.

The new Blossoms from Frabjous Fibers arrived late this afternoon. Here are 6 of the 15 colours.

Floral-inspired, gradient balls of JOY! These Blossoms are a smooth, soft blend of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. Watch the colors shift as you work through your next fingering weight shawl, socks, accessories, or even double or triple up to make a lightweight garment! 

These are $50.50 a ball.

We used Hedgehog Skinny Singles for our Kallara but I think it would look amazing in two different balls of Blossom.

It's time to get into the Christmas spirit. We have two new colours of Shepherd Sock from Lorna's Laces. Holly Jolly Holiday (green) and Deck Them Halls (red).

We're digging out our Christmas baskets.

This was the email that Beth sent yesterday. Roko visited the vet to have his blood work done. He has been on Thyroid medicine for a month and they wanted to see if it was helping.

Roko’s test came back very good.

Before his T4 level was 9.7 (should be 13 to 53) 

Now his T4 level is 42

It is. He has so much more energy. While we were away dad took Roko to the dog park with Lucy and he was running around. I might start taking it 😉
