Project Testing

I've been busy dyeing yarn and shipping orders.  It's been a productive week, so I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I cast on this combo the other day and have been working on it here and there.

Sometimes I test a project to see if the yarn, pattern and colors will work.  I need to knit a little more, but I think this project will be a go.  I'll know more by Monday.

We're at that point in the fall where most of the leaves have already fallen, but it's nice to look back just a few weeks when they were at their peak.  This week's color inspiration . . .

Bright yellow and orange.

The Fall Wave

It's been a minute, but I haven't forgotten about the blog. My fall travels are over, and the big fiber festivals are in the books.  I'm slowly settling in to a different routine.  While I miss being on the go, this is a good time to focus on the home front.

Without all the coming and going, I have more time to plot and plan new samples.  And more time for knitting.  I feel my annual fall wave of castonitis coming on.

This is another Musselburgh (Ravelry link).  A family member requested this hat, and I decided to get it up and running.  Once it's all situated, this is an easy project to pick up and put down.

My list of new projects is long, and I've been playing with color options.  What projects have captured your attention recently?
