There were a lot of local knitbloggers there all weekend, but I didn’t see any familiar faces in the crowd.
What would you do?
Yesterday, I described our dyeing experience and showed you Mom’s skeins. Today, I wonder about possibilities.
Adventures in Dyeing
Quick note: I’m testing another photo plugin with this post. It has a different pop-up effect (and also comes with an integrated gallery). It has better captions and interaction than the last one, I think. Please let me know how it works for you. Thanks! : )
So, you all may remember that I registered Mom and I for a dyeing class at Shepherd’s Harvest and that I showed a teaser picture of our skeins. Finally, here are more pictures and more information about our class with Tracey Schuh.
Limbo
I’ve been in a weird sort of knitting limbo or apathy. I knit and knit, but I don’t seem to accomplish anything. Gauge is way off, the fabric sucks, the yarn looks ugly, et cetera.
This has all been caused by several factors, the largest of which is I still haven’t finished seaming the Cropped Cardi. The shoulders have been attached, but that’s it. I won’t allow myself to start a new, large-scale project until this cardigan is 100% complete.
It’s a bit silly, I know. But on the other hand, I’ve been unable to decide which project I should start next. A shawl? A sweater? A blanket? Deadlock!
Shepherd’s Harvest 2006
Saturday, my parents and I went to Shepherd’s Harvest. It was overcast and cold enough that we wished we had mittens or gloves. (There were some for sale, but we didn’t buy any.) So, no MDSW good weather mojo, but at least it wasn’t pouring rain like it did at NHSW (look at the 2nd and 3rd pictures here; and don’t forget to scroll down for an awesome family portrait!).
Mishmash
Quick Madder Ribbed socks update… I haven’t been able to work on them very much, but I plan to finish them both by tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed, except when knitting!
I have a BUSY weekend coming up. On Saturday, my parents and I are going to Shepherd’s Harvest. Althought I don’t have my secret pals’ (yes, plural) information yet, I’m hoping to get some fun gifts there. Then on Sunday morning, Mom and I are team-walking at Race for the Cure at MOA. (I’m debating whether I should bring a knitting project; I’m tempted, but I know it will be crowded, and I may not have an appropriate project for walking.)
Oh yeah! I’m hoping for some MDSW weather mojo… the weather prediction: rainy and cool this weekend. : /
Dyann tagged me for a meme. I don’t have a hubby or SO, so I skipped that. more »
