I love a productive weekend almost as much as the lazy ones.

Here is a photo of Julissa. I’ll be starting waist increases this evening.

I love this for many reasons, not the least of which is that its using up stash. The top-down construction is one of my favourites and there is a lot going on with the shaping, cables and lace all happening at the same time. I need to stay engaged to see progress and I like that!

I fell off the yarn diet wagon big time because I’m crushing on the Manos Fino and so added these to my collection. I do have a gradient shawl in mind, perhaps two. The mileage is great for this yarn.

Why can I never leave Yarn Forward without something?

Amy Herzog’s book has been on my radar since I first heard about it. There have been lots of really positive reviews and I’m thinking this will be a great addition to my designing tool kit.
