This week is pretty well down to the wire, so to speak. While most of you have until Friday to get yourselves ready for MDS$W, I’m leaving Wednesday morning. My trip there is circuitous, first stop a visit with my family, then Friday a road trip through the mountains to Maryland with my sister. What to take… I need a new easy to travel with project. Socks, you say. But what pattern? Two circs or Dps? A simple stockinette stitch or something that makes the trip go faster? And, who wants JUST one project on a trip, how about a little something else. I’ve got the Adagio shawl in mind. In silk. I’ve been getting my patterns downsized, maybe I should put them in a pdf. file. SO much to think about.
I will be wearing the Vine Lace. I blocked her today, well sort of, I soaked and spread her out to dry. Looking at the long range forecast, the lace alpaca should feel pretty good.
It’s too rainy to stand outside, and cool,thus the red long sleeved tee underneath. Hardly a glam shot.
I managed to dye a batch of singles while waiting for the billing to print. I think this color will be Parrot. Cheerful, seasonal, and it reminds me a lot of a parakeet I one had as a pet.
and Ooohhh… my orchids!! they are blooming like crazy!

It’s beautiful Judy! I’ll be looking for you in Maryland. I wish I was leaving tomorrow as well, I am ready to be surrounded by knitters.
The sweater is beautiful! Love the color. See you in Maryland!
The sweater looks great – and your shots are always glam! Have a blast in Maryland. Bring me back some good photos!
Gorgeous sweater, the color is fab. I love your phal too, what other sorts of orchids do you have?
Beautiful sweater!
LOVE the sweater and you’ll need it from the sounds of it. Wish I could be in MD just to touch more of your yarn!
The sweater looks like it fits you perfectly!! Absolutely love that shot of your orchid. Beautiful…
Love the sweater. Yum.
I think you should call that color “budgie.”
And the orchid? It’s a little obscene, but not in a bad way.
Beautiful sweater! Hope to see you in MD.
Oh, pretty-pretty! I love the color, and of course the design is wonderful (I’m going to revisit the vine lace sock pattern someday soon. It’s such lovely lace.)
Have a blast in Maryland. 🙂
The sweater is absolutely fabulous. Great color on you. And that yarn! I love singles and your colors are glorious. I started the next shawl out of the Echinacae…maybe I’ll have to get more to replace it…hmmm…
Gorgeous! Have a wonderful time wherever you travel!
Beautiful sweater! That came out well. This weather has been great for the garden, terrible for blog photos.
Sweater looks great, Judy! Enjoy MDS&W!!!
Gorgeous sweater! And a beautiful colorway for the yarn~! Have a blast!
