I definitely have some catching up to do. It always seems the the Annual Hudson River Yarn Cruise occupies so much of my thoughts. We had a wonderful time and pictures will be posted soon – but it is now time to get on with other things !!
First – Judith Durant’s bead workshop was wonderful. She was a delight and, smart woman that she is, had us learn the harder beading techniques first. Some pictures of our workshop as Judith walked around helping each of us. Of course, a great big thank you to St John’s Episcopal Church for welcoming the workshop.


We had a few things to puzzle out !!
I’ll plan to start a knitting with beads group soon – but Laura just couldn’t wait. She not only finished her bag, but also showed us her scarf project during breakfast at the Dragon’s Den Deli !!


The most urgent of the many projects I have to finish is the baby blanket for a friend. I’m knitting it with Louisa Harding’s Kashmir DK – it feels so great. Well, the friends are Red Sox fans – imagine that !! So I tried to use the appropriate colors – but I just can’t resist a pinstripe or two. Below is a picture from a couple of days ago.

Lastly Jana - a most accomplished knitter - shared one of her newest projects – Shaun the Sheep of Wallace & Gromit fame !
