Be A Helper Craft-A-Long

Still goin till Feb 15.  Make ANYthing for ANY charity.  Wips are awesome.  Did you finish a charity project back around the holidays?  That counts, the craftalong started on Dec 5th so go ahead and enter it in the FO thread.

Design News

Soon be starting a test knit for a sleeveless top in fingering weight yarn.  More details to come soon, but if you’re interested in knitting an A-line summer top, please email me at [email protected] or PM me on Ravelry

FOs

2nd sock started for Un-Christmas socks

Wips

Boxy by Joji Locatelli.  Using Bamboo Laceweight from Spinaway Farms that I picked up in Rhinebeck 2 years ago.  Variegated cool blues from nearly white to nearly navy.

Find Your Fade shawl.  I’m on section , the 2nd lace section (still) and still in color #1, the raspberry-dyed handspun cotton that I’ve mentioned in past episodes  (and knitting fail)

Another new design that I can’t talk about yet, but it’s a summer knit inspired by the musical Rent that I think a lot of you will like.  Can’t wait to talk more about it later.

On the Run

Running and swimming and cross training, nothing special

Running Talk

A lesson I needed to learn: Learn to admit when you need help.
