Cedar Leaf
Lately, it has been one shawl after another. I love knitting them. When they’re done, they’re done. If they can be knit with one skein, all the better. This little piece, the Cedar Leaf Shawlette by Alana Dakos, caught my eye. I am a sucker for anything with leaves. It’ll probably be more of a scarf for me. Wouldn’t it be cute in several colors wrapped up together…
whew!
Please don't mind the colors. It was dark this morning when I unpinned Susan's lovely Feather Duster. I wanted to get a shot of it before it was folded and packed into a plastic crate. I'll tell you more later. It was night time knitting this past week. I wish I'd had more time to make it larger. I can picture it that way.
I'm reloading. Blocking. Labeling. Packing. Tomorrow is set up for the NH Sheep & Wool Festival.
It is hard to believe that a year has flown by. My mother told me that the older you get the faster time flies. She's right. It is also hard to believe that I was setting up for the Connecticut show only two weeks ago. There is something about this time of year, sort of a time warp, a worm hole, something. It all gets wonky.
I've got new things planned for each of the spring shows. So, if you get to Contoocook this weekend, and here are the directions, ( I love that they give coordinates for each gate at the fairgrounds), please come find me. Ball and Skein is in the Home Arts Building, same as the past few years. It sits all by itself next to the Main Entrance, also called the Blue Gate. Just outside the door the Kettle Corn man cooks up a storm, making us crazy all day AND the cookie vendor, well… I'm already thinking about her molasses cookies. Not a bad place to be.
Please come by and say hi. I'd love to see you. This is the only place I get to catch up with some of you.
See you this weekend!
I’m sadly missing NH again this year — we have a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday. Hope it’s a great show!
great!! Chris will be with me this time with all the winders. See you there.

I’ll be there!
Wish I could be there. Love all the blues!
I know you won’t see this til after but I’ll be there! The feather duster is lovely, I can’t wait to see that one in person.
Your shawl is lovely, as is all the yarn next to it!
Wow, I’ve been caught up in that worm hole! Hope NH went well. Beautiful blues!
Your booth looked fabulous! And you know how Feather Duster caught my eye. Stunning shawl. Just stunning.
.. yogurt and yarn.
One would think you made the yarn from the yogurt (a neat trick)!
Pretty natural colors. Yarn from yogurt indeed! Hehe. Up to your armpits dyeing yarn again? That Elise and Nerissa of yours btw is scrumptious!
Yogurt seems the ultimate multi-tasking task.
Y is also for YUM!
Yogurt making is on my to do list. Wonder if I can do that in my sleep somehow? That would be the ultimate multi task!
Wonderful composition – the photo of the yogurt has such depth, including the yarn photo made your post that much richer.

Oh, I love that! And you know how much I love a one skein project!!
Me, too. After vacillating for many years trying to find just the right yarn, I’m finally knitting the Leaf Lace Shawl, after having knit the Backyard Leaves, Dayflowers and Leaves and Branching Out scarves.
Your scarf is lovely.
Love yours! In my queue and moving up the list. More than halfway through Forest Canopy. I’ve seen several bi-colored ones. This one caught my eye:

I have been eyeing and drooling over this project for a while now. I actually asked for the kit for my birthday. I really want to meet yours in person.
That’s beautiful and will be a wonderful color on you.
There are SO many pretty little shawlettes out there right now. Like candy, I tell ya. 🙂
I’m a sucker for leaves, too, AND this rich orange color! Beautiful!
Love the color!
The best part about knitting shawls is that they always fit…
