As today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, here are my “spoils of war” from the Fiber Festival: Let’s see…clockwise-ish from top left: * Patterns from various vendors. * A “headache pillow” made from lavender & flax seed from Cherry Hill Quilters. * Blue/green fiber is 4 oz. of Polworth from Fuzzy Bunny. * [...]

The first clue for Mystic Meadows came out today…and I’m mostly convinced that the lace pattern is going to be much too busy for the variegated yarn I’ve selected. And I’m *way* more than OK with that, because ever since I got the yarn in the mail it’s been whispering “soft little baby sweater…hat…baby socks…big [...]

I joined yet another knit-along (because a girl can’t have too many lace stoles, you know, I do wear them everywhere…well, OK, not really, but they’re fun to knit) and wound up spending an unbelievable amount of time trying to find just the right yarn for it.
