I said I had purchased some Cascade 220 when I was back in Halifax, well here it is. Some wonderfully bright colors that will be wonderful for mittens. I’m planning on using some brighter roving for the thrums as well, the white merino is getting boring. Fine for one or two pairs of mittens, but I need a change. I’ve got a bunch of multicoloured roving that I got in a sampler pack from Etsy that I got a while back, which I never spun up. I guess it will go to use here.
-Cheers folks!
I’ve always been a fan of retro. Anything in that styling is awesome. While I was perusing Etsy one day I came across this print. I instantly fell in love and had to have it. It’s a full sized poster, done by hand, and signed by the artist. I’ve got it pinned up on my wall with just the edges of the push pins holding it up, not actually going through the print itself. At some point in time I’d love to get a nice frame for it, but because of it’s size I think that would be fairly expensive. All in time I suppose.
-Cheers folks!
No picture again. My phone died, so I didn’t have that to take pictures with on the plane, in any case, it was dark and there was nothing to see. Also, my camera was packed well down into my bag, so I couldn’t use that. Just imagine me on a plane. Boring as it is.
My flight leaving Halifax was delayed by an hour getting in from St.John’s, so it was over an hour late leaving Halifax. It did mean that I got an extra hour with my folks, and my nerves were eased because I didn’t want to think about being late (I’m a very punctual person and when it comes to doing things for the first time I like to be super early). Earlier in the day I went for lunch with mom over in Halifax, and then popped into my favourite LYS. I picked up some Cascade 220 for more mittens. A few bright colors and a natural as well. Here’s to more and more mittens. I’ve got two sets of cuffs done, now it’s just for the hands, and the thrums… all those thrums. Wonderful.
-Cheers folks!
