On the Needles
Cast on the test knit lace cowl by Maria Montzka of Stitched in Sweden. Working on Trillian at a pretty steady pace - my wrist is a bit "off" not because of knitting but actually because of sewing!

Knitting Travels
The day before I left for NYC I convinced The Aussie to drive up to The Loopy Ewe, which was a bit of an adventure.

Went to Voolenvine Yarn's trunk show at Gauge and Tension - in the downtime we tried on the GxT Cormo shawls that were on display and the yarn is so soft. Kristin and I had fun pretending to be knitwear models. She had alot of the good favorites on display and I fell in love with her Water Lily sweater knit. We also met Mina of the Knitting Expat podcast! 
AMA
This week's question is from suddenexpression and we talk about how I go about picking fabric for my garments.

Reviews:
Pom Pom Quarterly Summer Edition - holding on to the last bits of summer, though their fall edition is amazing. We also have a giveaway - which pattern would you knit to help keep the last bits of summer alive for you?
