Fleece and Harmony sells patterns by CAWcreations and Sand and Sky Creations.
FOs
1:12 Hap(py) Shawl by CAWcreations. Purchase pattern through Fleece and Harmony. Used Fleece and Harmony’s fingering yarn in Strawberry fields and Rhubarb colours. The needles used were 2.5 mm (US 1 1/2) Knitters Pride Karbonz (Everyone else uses 3.5 mm to get the same gauge. I am odd.) I did not like the needles because the tips kept twisting off the cord and the yarn kept catching on the tips. I do not have this problem with my other Knitters Pride needles just these tips.
WIPs
4:02 Grand Central Socks by Knitting Expat Designs in Good Karma Farm Sox yarn. Using a 2.75 mm (US 2) needle.
5:30 Gavin’s Blanket a CAWcreations pattern in Knit Picks Dishie yarn. Using 4.5 mm (US 7) needles for a gauge of 4 stitches and 5 rows = 2.5 cm. Not much progress. In the bag by Michelle Holland. Love the size. Fits the entire throw.
6:12 Ixtapa by Kirsten using Euroflax sport weight linen. Using 3.5 mm (US 4) Knitter’s Pride Nova Platina to get gauge of 18 stitches and 30 rows = 10 cm in stockinette.
7:00 Seb’s socks new CAWcreations sock pattern with reversible cables on top. Finding the two at a time socks take MUCH longer to make. Used MyColourWheelhouse yarn in flaming orange.
8:18 Heart on Your Sleeve Ironheart sweater in Knit Picks Gloss DK. It is the cranberry colour. Using my Addi Turbo 4 mm (US 6) needles for this project.
9:00 Apple Blossom Socks in Lisa Sousa’s 2016 Rhinebeck color with Annie Purl’s I want your socks grey sparkle cuffs, heels, and toes. Using a 2.25 mm (US 1) circular needle. In my Dr. Who bag by Sue from The Tangled Skein CA on Etsy.
10:05 Knitting I entered in the provincial exhibition. Got first place for two piece baby set (Zig Zag Baby Cardigan, and Baby Pants/shorts), and third place for the Beach Day Shawl all are CAWcreations patterns designed for Fleece and Harmony.
12:35 What is new in my world: Roadtrip with Tim, taxi for children (young adults), start teaching this fall, and plan at least once a month podcast
Book
14:07 Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay.
“Inspired by the glory of Tang Dynasty China in the eighth century, Guy Gavriel Kay melds history and the fantastic into something both powerful and emotionally compelling. Under Heaven is a novel on the grandest narrative scale, encompassing the intimate details of individual lives in an unforgettable time and place.” http://brightweavings.com/ggk/books/books/under-heaven/
Great story loved the characters and social commentary. The ghosts were great too.
16:07 Stash Enhancement
Lang Yarn cashmere sock yarn in blues. It appears to be discontinued. Too bad I like it.
Green Gables Alpacas yarn pastel rainbow skein. So soft. Love it!!
17:30 Trip Pictures
18:10 Outtakes — could not remember Sue’s name to talk about my project bag she made me. Yep that is why I normally record during the day.
