It's a Wrap!

Yesterday afternoon I casted on some Fleece Artist Suri Blue I cannot find the color on their website but it is gorgeous! I am knitting the Touring Wrap from the Seattle LYS Tour 2007. The pattern is free and is designed by Ellen Goweya from Village Yarn & Tea Shop in Shoreline, WA. Thank you Ellen! I love the pattern it is so simple yet delicate. The Yarn is wonderful also. :o) Here is a picture of the cake I wound.

Yes, I know I didn't do a very good job winding it. I don't normally wind my yarn I have my LYS do it for me because I don't have a winder or a swift. I was at my LYS Knitty Gritty yesterday and asked if I could use their swift and winder and of course they said yes. Thank you Lin.

Here is a picture of the Eyelet Border...


I will be casting on the wrap tonight.

By the way this beautiful wrap is not for me. :o(

It is for my wonderful sister in law. :o)

We went to the Seattle Mariners "Stitch-n-Pitch" last summer and she bought it for herself there. The local yarn shops had booths you could buy all kinds of fun stuff! Anyway she felt like it was to complicated for her to do. What she doesn't know is that she is knitting a scarf that is a little more complicated than this wrap. I t has beads and all kinds of lace work. Let's not tell her though, ok? She might want the project back to do herself! I LOVE this yarn and LOVE knitting with it and can't give it up.

Ok, I might be a little obsessed.

Obsessed? Nothing wrong with that at all! The eyelet border looks so delicate.
I thought of you the other day. My folks were over from the UK and they brought us these large pickling jars along with a book on how to pickle. So far we've only done shallots but it's a start isn't it? Next week I'll be tackling red cabbage.

Day 54 Quarentine

Yea, you read that right, day 54. It's so crazy to realize it's been that long that we've been isolated. We are retired so even...
