I’m stalled on the black lacey cardigan. I started it hoping to be able to wear it to a wedding on September 1st (I’m always cold at receptions). I guess I was feeling a little overconfident and thought I could finish it even though I’m working on a number of other projects.

Black Yarn
My eyes are going. I’ve been in denial about this for a while now. I couldn’t really understand before when my mum would said that she could only knit with dark coloured yarn during the day with good strong light over her shoulder.
On-the-road knitting
While on our road trip I had lots of time for knitting. Although prone to motion sickness, I did discover that I can easily work in stocking stitch as long as I don’t need to look down much.
Avery update
I’ve been working on a little of everything lately, but wanted to let you know how Avery is coming along. I’ve finished the front and blocked both the front and back.
Little boy blue
Hana’s outgrown Avery sweater sample received a lot of attention at the Victoria Knit-Out last month and it’s in a discontinued yarn. It’s time to knit a new one in a yarn I carry so that knitters can see just how great it looks in another colourway too!
Time to share
I just love receiving email from knitters who have completed one of my sweaters – especially when they send photos! Martha has outdone herself by knitting not one, but TWO Drunken Argyle vests.
My Little Ponies
Pearls, that is. I’ve been looking everywhere for a Canadian source for Pony Pearl dpns. I found them at the Beehive Wool Shop in Victoria when I participated in the yarn crawl at the Victoria Fibre Festival.
Last minute details
Mechelle Lymburner, a photographer friend and the mother of one of Hana’s classmates offered to photograph some of my sweaters to use in posters for my tent at the Knit-Out. We threw the sweaters on some kids in the playground after school one day last week and had some fun.
