…..And….We’re back!

Here we are a week later. I spent every spare minute and a few evenings cranking out the knitting. I finally cast off the last few rows this morning, and I’m planning on starting to piece it together next week, when I get back to the burgh. I’m currently in Michigan. I even brought the back on the plane to work on.

While I’m here, though, I started a Red Light Special. I’m into colorwork at the moment. I also have a stash full of the same yarns in random colors, perfect combo, I think. I’m using Rowan Cashsoft DK, in 3 shades, and one skein of the same that I overdyed awhile back. Since I’m using a heavier yarn, (the pattern calls for sportweight). I’m using smaller needles, 3.25 mm for the lining, but for the body I think I’ll be okay using 4 mm, since my fairisle is always on the tight side. There are some beautiful examples of this pattern in the flickr group. Some great color combos too.

Speaking of flickr groups, I finally got it together and started one for things knit using Vesper Sock Yarn. I’ve long wanted to put up a gallery of knitters photos, when it occured to me flickr would be the perfect forum. So go here, and knock yourselves out! If you don’t have and don’t want to start a flickr account, feel free to email your photos to me, knitterlythings AT gmail DOT com, and I’ll post them for you.
