Knitting photography class with Shiba Guyz – sooooooo much fun, learned sooooooo much; will definitely take another class with them again. Learned about photographing flat and on people and I ended up a model which was a definite hoot – if you know me, then you know I am so not a model I spend 5 min on hair and makeup in the morning

FOs

2 Linen sweaters are now finished-finished-finished, as the Knitmores would say – both have grosgrain ribbon and buttons! Finished them for the Knitting Photography case – our homework was to bring something to photograph

Wips

Tanwen – Berocco Remix, recycled blend of silk, cotton, linen, nylon on Size 8 needles. Green hitchhiker in Valley Yarns Greylock, 100% cashmere, 6 points done. Cashmere is making my hands itch so only can only knit 15-20 minutes a day then wash and rest my hands for a little

New – cast on Pink Hitchiker, same pattern, the 2nd of 4 hitchikers for a family that is very dear to me. Ultra Pima Fine which is sport weight not fingering weight, so I’m doing a 6-row repeat instead of 8-row repeat

Pattern Stalking

Correction – It was Danielle Brown, not Deb Brown, who has the beautiful version of Changing Staircases

In The Garden

Lots of Rain - better than the drought of the last 2 years!

More seedlings - need some dryer weather before I plant in our clay soil.
