Intermission
Ah I read with horror Beth's too small socks woes so have been working on my Jays today. Yes I know there is Olympic knitting to be done but feh. Horror must be abated. Here are the socks:
Next to them you see a little mitten I knit almost a decade ago. I mentioned them recently in my color dominance entry~ these are the mitts I took to knitting camp and garnered comments from Meg. Sure it shows some serious wear after 3 kidlets wearing them and the mate is lost but I still am fond of it. The pattern was in Robin Hansons mitten book~ forget which one but may be reprinted in her newest compilation of Maine Mittens. Here is a close up:
In other news I have a picture sent to me by Nancy~ she saw the pattern for Isabella and promptly ordered the yarn in pink and knit up a sweater for her DD. And a lovely job she did too if I have to say so myself... I am totally tickled pink somebody knit one of my designs and if you do knit one and care to share it would so make my day. Here is Nancy's beautiful knitting:
As for Olympia~ I have ordered more yarn since I think I might need more. And guess what? Cascade is out of the yarn in their warehouse. Sheesh did you alls order the yarn in anticipation of the design or what?
Happy knitting ~ super yarny days and knitterly evenings to all
