Transitions

When my day goes sideways and all dyeing grinds to a halt, I can still be productive. 

Yesterday was one of those days, so I transitioned to knitting instead.
I'm using a mini gradient bundle, and I worked my way into the third skein.  

This is Aeque.  Some of you may remember that I've knit this one before.  Check it out if you have a gradient and you're looking for ideas.  The instructions include a clever way to transition from one color to the next.  

Today the dye pots are on, and I'm knitting a few rows here and there.
I'm almost ready for the fourth color, and I can't stop.

This week's color inspiration . . . 

Shades of winter.

Aeque

I have so many sample ideas swirling around these days, so it's encouraging when another one comes off the needles.

Aeque.  This bandana shaped cowl is a fun, entertaining project, and it's easy to wear.  The pattern is designed to be knit with five small amounts of yarn, and I've created mini gradient bundles with several color options.  

I'll have the sample and bundles at Inman Eats and Crafts this Sunday. If you're in the area, check out this celebration of Inman Sq.

Also on the weekend schedule . . . on Saturday I'll be at Coggeshall Farm for the Rhode Island Fiber Festival.  Follow the link for details.
