In Search Of...

Hello on this chilly risotto Sunday!

(The weather is chilly, not the risotto, LOL!)

Remember that show from the 1970s, starring Leonard Nimoy?  It was "The Twilight Zone" meets conspiracy theory.  We would watch it with great glee and trepidation!

Well, this morning I went In Search Of knitting pattern books (more on that another time!), and guess what I found:

This is the giant ball of hand dyed yarn that I was looking for to use for a recent project!  It may even have been Pinion, I'll have to look back.  Neuro - this may be one of the things we dyed with OogyMIL all those years ago!  I'm going to keep it close - it may come in handy very soon!

In other news - yesterday I successfully used frozen puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm!) to make cherry turnovers.  They were OK, but this puff pastry thing opens up a whole new realm of possibilities!!

Stay warm, safe, and well!

Colorful Booties and Socks

It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!

I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.
