Today is a beautiful springlike day after snow day before yesterday. The snow is gone, the day is warm and dry. The kind of day that Jim has been wishing for all winter. He was up as soon as it warmed and dressed to ride. He took off on his motorcycle for a “long” ride and I was left to do whatever I wished.
Today is the day the new yarn and fabric store opened in the nearby town, so for me it was a day to explore. Lunch alone at Panera, reading, then across the road to the new shop to check it out. After that excursion, I was off to my favorite local shop to sit with friends and knit.
My current projects, since I finished the baby sweater and delivered it to the Mom to be, but failed to photograph first, are still the Honey Cowl of Green Dragon Terminator in Heatwave color.
It is coming along nicely, though I found a dropped stitch while I was at his shop and now have to decide how to deal with it. And my other project is Estelle of Quince and Co. Lark in Delft color. The body is finished on it and I’m working on one sleeve. That leaves the other sleeve and the feather and fan front bands. I am beginning to think it may not get worn this year, but it will be put away for the next cold winter.
I am considering selling my Ashford Kiwi 2 spinning wheel for a Kromski Sonata that I can pack up and take to the weekly spinning group. I’m not addicted enough to own more than one wheel. I was hoping when I got to the Green Dragon Shop to knit that David had not sold all of the fiber he took to Hawk’s Nest last week, he had one I really wanted, but my road trip there didn’t happen as I remembered an appointment that interfered, but alas, he sold every roving he took with him. Maybe in the fall.
