I cast on last night. I wasn’t going to but something made me. I’m using Afternoon Delight for my main colour and Echo Echo for the contrast. Plump is a joy to work with. Here is the wrong side.

It’s Plump time ..read more

I’m home and writing a quick post because I didn’t write yesterday. Here is my cowl before getting on the plane. I was able to knit lots on the plane. I made it to the decreases just before we landed. The colours look so much better in the lighting at home. I’m finishing my tea and heading to bed. It was a long day and I need to be in the store early. Lynn came in on Monday and Tuesday to get orders ready. I will double check them in the morning and then Mr. UPS will be stopping by to pick them up.  ..read more

I was on a mission today. First stop was the mall to go to Kay’s Jewellers. Every December we buy bears there and all the proceeds go to St. Judes hospital. Our lawyer’s daughter does research at St Judes so it is extra special to purchase the bears. This year’s bears are very cute. Then onto the Bellagio. The Conservatory didn’t disappoint. Now I’m inspired to get home and set up our tree. We are decorating this year. For the past few years we haven’t but I convinced Beth that we could this year. I think it could be the carrying of everything from the basement. When ..read more

I spent some time helping a knitter pick out colours to knit the Inclinations Shawl. I was showing her the shawls that I knit and then decided to share with all of you. You can purchase the pattern for the Inclinations Shawl on Ravelry. This shawl is all about texture, squish and the movement of color. Watching the colors move and change was mesmerizing, and I finished the shawl long before I was ready to, because I just could not set it down! You can absolutely play with different color options, and I share some ideas in the pattern, but don’t be afraid to make it your own! Knit it in 1 col ..read more
