Ready or Not

Rhinebeck weekend is upon us, and I'm almost ready.  Just a few more details to wrap up and then I hit the road.  I'm waiting for my laundry to dry.  Why do I always leave that to the end?

There's been an extra flurry of activity the last few days.  There always is before a show.  This project has been finished for a while.

Coastal Gradient.  Mini gradient sets . . . hours of entertainment.  This weekend I'll have the Coastal Gradient Kit available in a variety of colors.  If you're heading to Rhinebeck, you'll find me in Building C, Booth 42.

My color inspiration this week is a variation on a theme.

Everything goes with gray.

The dryer just beeped.  I'm off . . . 

More Minis

Sometimes it takes an outside force to generate a new idea.  I often have mini skeins available at shows.  Not only are they cute, they're also an easy way to add a little color or sample a new yarn.

Over the last few months I've had a thing for gradients, and I've shared some of that fun here on the blog.  

Enter Suzie and Elizabeth at KnitWit.  Recently they approached me with a special request.  The result is a combination of the minis and the gradients.

Mini Gradient Bundles. Aren't they adorable?  Oh, the possibilities . . . 

I delivered a batch to the shop on Saturday.  Here's one pattern idea.

Coastal Gradient.  Now I'm plotting and planning.

While the ideas percolate, I can work on this.

Strathcona.  Almost mindless, good for thinking.
