Again I can’t believe how fast time passes – It’s been soooo long since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been thinking about next year’s classes and have come to the conclusion that 2010 will be the year of color. While thinking about color I have started 2 projects. The first, Lucy Neatby’s Mi’kmaq Cardigan which has been on my list for can it be 2 years?? .

The above views are of the back – public side and inside.
I’m using Mission Falls 1824 cotton. This is such a fun project – but will probably take at least a year. This is an example of the kind of color techniques we will be expliring all year – stripes, intarsia & stranding – but with much smaller, more manageable projects !
My second project is from my new favorite book, Swing, Swagger & Drape, by Jane Slicer-Smith. This book has so many great projects that I’m thinking of using it as a “textbook” for several upcoming classes.
This is the beginning of my Harlequin Coat. Here I’m using Plymouth Yarn Select Worsted Merino Superwash. Again, another project that will take some time ….. but lot’s of fun !









In preparation for Judith Durant’s workshop on Sunday, September 13, I just finished the bead display (with John’s help). They are all Miyuki beads from Beadsmith - mostly 6/O and 8/O seed beads – but some Delicas and a few other, too. All are part of Judith’s new book, Knit One Bead Too. We will be knitting a sampler purse in her workshop – practicing all of her techniques for adding beads to your knitting !!
This was a busy week at the shop. Gail O’s sewing class was great. The girls learned a lot & made several projects !
Hilda finished her sweater and it’s ready for mailing. It’s beautiful.
