California, here I come
Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? I gave myself a break this year – I only made vague resolutions, like “eat less, move more” and “spend more time knitting.” I figure if I can manage those two, it’ll be a pretty good year.
My Wrap Me Up shawl had its inaugural wearing on New Year’s Eve – hubby, Mom, and I went to a fun gathering with my knitting buddies, with kids and grandmoms and dogs and party poppers – we had a grand time! I’m very pleased with how the shawl turned out, and I’m already thinking about what to knit next in Noro Silk Garden – my love of this yarn apparently know no bounds.
Next week, I’ll be heading to San Diego to attend TNNA’s tradeshow – this is the big, semi-annual market for needlework shop owners, where we get to pet all the new yarns and products, meet pattern designers, meet and mingle with other shop owners, and place orders for spring and summer. It’s lots of fun, although I wear myself out trying to fit everything in! I’ll be ordering some exciting new items for our website – lots more info coming on that when I get back.
I’ll also visit my sister-in-law while I’m out in California, and sshhh, it’s a surprise, I am bringing a present for her could-be-born-any-day-now first granddaughter. Isn’t this adorable? I found the free Baby Earflap Hat pattern on Ravelry (or here, if you’re not on Ravelry), and the yarn is Rowan RYC Cashsoft Baby DK, and it’s a wonderful baby yarn! I added the hearts myself – pretty good for my first attempt at fair isle!
California dreamin…
