It all started when one of my lovely students walked up to me and sneezed. Not just any sneeze, but one that landed on my face! As I looked at them, ready to cry, I knew, I too would soon look like they did. With in 48 hours... yes, you guessed it.
Lost my voice while talking to Carol at Carol's Needleworks,on Tuesday. I was having a normal conversation, and then, POW! nothin. NO voice nothing. Needless to say Carol looked at me like I had three eyeballs. SO I quickly got what I needed and headed home. It progressively worsened over the week. I am on the recovery side now. Full of Gatorade and penicillin.
SO what did I get at Carol's? Some basic washable wool for the cutest little cardigan for young nephew's birthday in May.
The same nephew that
requested socks last year. I have finished the back since this picture was taken. The pattern comes from Favorite web site for patterns, Knitty.He said, that he preferred blue to the green and wanted yellow spikes. DONE! I am adding green to the second set of spikes.It looks like so much fun!
The back went quickly. Just straight knitting and raglan sleeve. They did a seed stitch ribbing, love it!
Now even though I was sick, I did drag myself to the Thursday night Mini Workshops at BLOOMIN!!!
How to read Lace shawl charts. And it was sooo worth it! I really got a hold of how to read those charts.
I loved my yarn, till I started. Not so after working the pattern, I decided to not use the it and bought the pink yarn in the top picture. It is a bamboo from Farmhouse. I really am having a love affair with that company. The bamboo is called Bonnie's and the color is desert bloom. It is so soft and has a light sheen to it.
The cardigan is coming along quickly. I have put it aside to do the Nephews cardigan and the shawl. But I know I can probably finish it in a weekend. Yes its that fast.
The yarn is farmhouse also. So, you see the love affair I have.
My tea and honey are ready. My throat really needs it. So I am off to sip and knit. Till next blog....Keep knitting!
