As soon as the ends are woven in on one project, the hooks and needles instantly begin to fly on the next. As per usual, I have no shortage of perpetual WIPs going. For starters, I enjoyed the Flatiron Shawl I finished last month so much that I already started another with some Houndstooth yarn I recently purchased at Lambtown up in Dixon. The colorways I picked for this fade are so autumnal, my fingers are plunging into pumpkin spice with every stitch.
Next I've been garter-stitching away to make a very conspicuously colored supply bag with some totally outrageous HHF yarn I bought ages ago (and then completely forgot about).
Since I'm talking about knitting, (as I mentioned last month) my 3rd knitting class is tonight. For the first 2 weeks we worked on a sampler with Lamb's Pride. The photo above features the sampler I made over 3 years ago and the sampler I just finished (and still need to bind off) last week. Tonight I'll start my hat with the ball of Baby Alpaca Grand in the corner. The yarn is SO soft and gentle, I can't wait to feel and wear the finished project!
Truly last but not least, I came up with the brilliant idea, utterly at the last minute to crochet scarves for the 2 sisters at my salon for X-Mas gifts. So now it's a race against time to get them finished sooner than later. I downloaded a great shifted stitch yarn cake pattern from Yarnybird on Etsy. Tomorrow night we're flying to Chicago for a stamp show and I plan to be busting out my hook at any given opportunity during our travels. So here's to hoping I'll have plenty of HOTHs to proudly display in the very near future!
