Sheep On Parade!!

Hello on this chicken tacos with homemade guacamole Friday!!

The next page of our adventure has us wandering in and around Lenox on Day 2:


We had indeed been to Colorful Stitches before, and they are still there today!!!  I don't recall if I bought anything there, though!

We also tracked down and visited (all?  most?) of Sheeptacular.  This was when municipalities all over the place (it seemed) went crazy with a standard thing (sheep, horses, you name it), commissioned local artists to paint/decorate/disguise them, put them all over the place, and then in (some? all?) instances auctioned them off as a fundraiser.  Can you imagine having one of these in your garden?  That would be so awesome!!

We had met up at Colorful Stitches prior to this trip - I think I was headed in one direction, and Neuro in the other (or something like that!).  At least one of those times we got lunch and sat in a park across the street(ish) from the shop and hung out there for a while (with yarn, of course!).  It was quiet and lovely!

I got a wee bit of knitting done yesterday, but nothing major to report.

Stay safe and well :)

OK, meeting up before this trip is a vivid memory! You gave me a big basket with lots of small quantities of hand spun. I still use the basket, and I still have some of the yarn, too! I remember being so exciting about all that yarn because it was a huge range of fibers and colors.

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!

Wedding Pillows

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.
