My Delphia shawl went into time-out on Friday night. I was working on the lace pattern and realized I’d added four rows of stockinette that weren’t supposed to be there. (I was supposed to start on row 5 of the lace pattern, not 1. Argh.) I had to decide whether to frog four rows of 250+ stitches or live with the extra rows. The weather was perfect spring sunshine so while that project thought about what it had done, the husband and I went out adventuring. We hit a couple of estate sales and then a couple of historic downtown areas, and had a marvelous time shopping, window-shopping, and enjoying the weather. Of course I found some goodies!
The little sheep salt and pepper shakers might be my favorite find. Except for the yarn. Yes, of course we went to a yarn store! At Florilegium in Weston, I bought two beautiful skeins from dyers I’d never heard of.
For my car-knitting, I pulled out my new vanilla sock. I’m using the Knit Picks Capretta Reserve in Pickle Juice for the accent and Show Me Yarn Bootheel for the body.
As always, I love the colors in their self-striping yarn and right now this is all I want to knit!
The yarn is gorgeous, but those salt and pepper shakers are adorable!
Ooooh what is that skein on the right? The colours are gorgeous. I’m enjoying your sock colours too – they’re going to be striking when they’re done!
That one is Less Traveled Yarn Concorde, in the color Lagoon. Isn’t it gorgeous??
Thank you! It’s wonderful and I eagerly await it being on your needles!
Me too! Just have to finish some other projects first!
Pretty pretty yarn! Especially the bluey greeny one ❤
I absolutely love the colors on your vanilla sock.
I have several projects in time out too. Some may just end up being frogged.
I am glad you got to go out and enjoy the weather. And those sheep are adorable!
Love the salt & pepper shakers! And Pickle Juice is such a fun yarn color.
That Dog Mom necklace is the bestest!
