My move to another state really disrupted my whole knitting life. I had to close down websites, say goodbye to a design job I loved at Hobby Lobby, and dive into a new state, new friends and new adventures. Finally, I am organized and re-energized to knit.
I have a new knitting design but it needs test knit and the yarn for the three sizes will be a little pricey. So I'm waiting for a good sale and/or the right time. It's a men's chunky cabled pullover with a shawl collar. It was a special request from my husband, who with me spends a lot of time in freezing cold ice rinks watching our boys play hockey.
I have also completely revamped Summerbelle and will be publishing it as soon as a sunny day for pictures appears.
Also simmering are some quick holiday gift designs.
And, gulp, I finally bought yarn for Siobhan in Jean Frost Jackets by Jean Frost. I couldn't swing the Euroflax sportweight, so I am hopeful that my substitute yarn, Fibra Natura Flax in Blue Spruce (close to emerald green, but a little more blue) will be just as gorgeous as the picture in the book.
