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??  .

Mi'kmaq 1                             Mi'kmaq 2

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.

 

Harlequin Coat 1  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 !
