There were several projects Nicole wanted to make so I was ordering yarn for her and . . a bit jumped in the cart for me! Imagine that happening. I think I've already told you about these so it isn't really news but it's here and, as always, I can't wait to get started. Nicole is one who starts a project and finishes it and doesn't even think about the next project til the current one is done. ...

New Patterns
Pretend you aren't noticing that I'm buying patterns faster than I'm making anything. Treis is a new pattern I saw on Miss Babs' newsletter recently and forgot to go back and look at it but today I looked at it and loved it so I added that to my library. Stephen West's patterns aren't usually my style but I've loved this one since I first saw it. I kept putting it off because of the brioche, ...
Slow Curves Project
Today is the first day I've had time to get any amount of knitting done. I made a little progress on Slow Curves, my August Camp Loopy project. This was taken fairly early in the day and I've actually made a bit more progress. Still not feeling real confident about finishing it on time but I love the pattern so even if I don't finish on time, I will finish. ...
Leftovers Cowl
This is a project I started in February, 2015. It's going to take me a lifetime to finish at this rate but I do want to finish it. It's one of the projects I brought with me. Once I finish my Camp Loopy project, I'm going to commit (and you know how great I am about commitments to knitting projects) to doing 5 rows per day on this. That's not a lot of rows and it will still take a long time ...
New Knitting Patterns
Since I'm the worst at finishing things, I told myself I was going to finish my August Camp Loopy project (which I haven't touched since getting here), then work on some of the UFOs that I brought with me and, that is my plan, but at the rate I'm going, August is going to end before my Camp Loopy project is done. It's always seemed like it's feast or famine with whatever I'm doing. I can ...
Rios Arrived
The Malabrigo Rios arrived today. This is the yarn I ordered when ESK had their refund for the sixth skein of Malabrigo that was ordered. I ended up getting four skeins free. Not bad at all! The first one is the Matisse Blue. I got 7 skeins, which was all they had. That's 1,470 yards. I would love to have gotten 9 skeins and ay try to get 2 more later but Malabrigo colors can vary greatly from ...
