Sophie Shawl

 I have a new sample ready to go.

For the yarn, I held Lucia DK with Shimmer - both in Dusk.  This was such a fun, relaxing project.  It didn't require too much brain power and had just enough going on to hold my interest.

If you're going to the Inman Holiday Market on Sunday, stop by our booth in the East Cambridge Savings Bank. I'll have the sample on display.

And if you're looking for information about Farm Fiber Days, the newsletter was released yesterday.  Follow the link for more details.

This is a busy month for birthdays in our house, and this sparkly cake provided my weekly color inspiration.

 Crazy candlelight.

Math on the Fly

Don't ask me about my holiday prep, but I had a productive knitting weekend.  Finishing always leads to more starting, especially when I have deadlines.  It's the knitting cycle.

My Sophie Shawl (Ravelry link) is off the needles and blocking.  I was doing my calculations on the fly and ended up with just yards to spare.  It's nice to come out on the winning side for once.  Thankfully I don't anticipate any other close calls with my current deadline projects.

Project Update

I had plans to tackle a swatch and start a new project, but life has sent me in a different direction.  Instead of starting something new, there's been sitting and waiting and zooming.

So I've been working on this project.

This is Sophie Shawl (Ravelry link).  I had a false start and went back to the beginning with a different size needle.  I like it much better now.  

This project kept popping up all over my social media feeds, and now I understand why.  It doesn't require too much thought which is perfect for the moment.  I'm still itching for something new . . . maybe later in the week.
