September Socks

Socks for September-SAM 4 KAL. These are knit of Cherry Tree Hill supersock in Cabin Fever colorway. Nice yarn to work with. My new fave! I used knit Picks Options size 1 and 2. I changed to a round toe and on the picot top, I did a provisional cast on and then folded and knitted it in. It's a little extra work, but worth it.

KNIT OUT in the PARK

Last Saturday was our local Guild's Knit Out event: KNIT OUT in the Park. Held at a local park near downtown San Luis Obispo. It was a great success! After a little rain on Friday, we decided God must be a knitter--NICE WEATHER! I'll post pics soon.

Another UFO is almost complete--today or tomorrow. That feels good! Also, I frogged another project. I made a shawl last year that ended up with a couple of mistakes. One fixable and one not. I liked the shawl so I decided to frog and re-knit paying closer attention to what I'm doing next time. It'll go into the "designated stash" for resurrection possibly in January '08.

Keep Knitting! Sherry

Quilt Challenge


Some pics of the 30+ quilts that were entered in the quilt challenge. Last Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day--perfect for an outdoor event.

There must have been 100 or so people there to see all the beautiful quilt entries. We had a fantastic lunch.

I didn't win, but that's OK. ALL the quilts were so, so beautiful!



...and here's a pic of me (in the hat) with Susan Branch!

It's Time

Haven't posted in awhile; hmmm. Today I am "store sitting" for a friend who owns a YARN SHOP! It's called Yarnology and is located in the Village in Arroyo Grande, CA. Heather, the owner, also has a new website and takes orders online right HERE!



It is really, really fun to be in a roomful of yarn for seven hours!



Last week I turned in the challenge quilt. It looks great. I don't know how many entries there are--will find out Saturday when the winners are announced. I'll post pics next week. This quilt has become the "inspiration" for decorating my bedroom. I planned to use it as a table cover but, it just may go on the wall over the bed.



Sock swap socks are on the home stretch. I've collected some nice goodies to go with them.
