Once Upon A Time There Were Two Little Girls

Hello on this salmon taco Friday!

I was trying to think of a good title for this post and for some reason a riff on the opening line of Charlie's Angels struck me as super funny.

This adventure happened almost exactly 18 years ago.  Neuro and had I decided we would take a short trip around New England to visit several of the prominent yarn stores and other venues there.  We both grew up in NE and had frequented some of these places before; others were on a wish list of sorts.  A relative left me a modest amount of money so we decided to stay in Bed and Breakfasts instead of cheap hotels (keep in mind this was way before Airbnb and internet was still fairly clunky).  And buy as much yarn as we wanted.  And even have a restaurant dinner or two!

We put together a plan (that was way more comprehensive than the plan we had when we hit the road for several days in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico with semi-functional camping equipment and no cell phones!!!) and Oogymom found a copy of it while tidying up some old boxes.

I'd put it all together in a PowerPoint; here is the title page (slightly edited):

I'll post the next page tomorrow, and so on.  It's quite lengthy, so this, too, will be an adventure!

Stay cool, well, and safe :)

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
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.
