A high-energy blogger, knitter, reader (and sometimes writer) who does mainly knitting, who loves knitting LACE. I love making lace shawls as well as comfy prayer shawls. I'm even more crazy about SPINNING. My favorite wheel is the old 1970's Ashford Traddy that once belonged to my Grammy. Now I've even stepped onto the Weaving path. Huh? Yeah. Just a bit. Onto the Rigid Heddle Weaving path with my Kromski Harp.

Ta Da! Plain Vanilla Sweater Finished Last Night
Finally I finished the Plain Vanilla sweater. Yay! I like it. Because I decided to use a seed stitch hem on the bottom and the cuffs, I notice that the hem is flipping up a bit. I have some heavy dictionaries sitting on it right now trying to flatten it. I've invented a new technique perhaps? If it works, I'll call it "dry blocking."
Now I need to get busy making some scrumbles for my Freeform vest project. I hope to wear my new sweater at the retreat.

Yay! I can't wait to see you in it! :D You didn't even rip it out once. Good for you!
Yes, it's done. Now I've started back on my scrumbles for the Freeform vest. It was really fun working on that last night - I finished 2 more scrumbles and sewed them onto the vest.
Chelle, I thought it was absolutely gorgeous when I saw it last Saturday. Congrats! Job well Done! SW
Thanks! I really like it so far. Can't wait to wear it.
Scrumbles sound like a salad topping or kitty treat. That vanilla sweater will be one of those pieces you'll reach for over and over. The best kind.
