That's right. Registration closes on Jan 31st. Don't be left out of the bloodthirsty fun!
I finally have pictures to share of my Shopping Tunic and Lopi Vest. It took a great deal of effort to get these pics as my camera isn't getting along with the computer at the moment. They are having terrible disagreements over whether the pictures should be upload. I am trying to negotiate between them as best I can, but I fear one may go on strike soon. (Actually, I suspect that the little cord thingy that runs between them is the troublemaker. It's sitting here looking all innocent, but I know what it's doing.)
Without further to-do, my Twinkle Shopping Tunic!
Isn't it fun? And looks fabulous on Isabella, our shop model. I have a few more curves than she does, so it isn't quite so sleek on me. And yet, I love it. It is cozy and fun and perfect for a day like today.
I'm almost to the yoke on my Lopi-Lite vest.
Basically, it is a sleeveless lopi-sweater, that you wear layered over a long-sleeved shirt. We had a lovely woman in the shop who had just returned from Iceland. She was wearing one of these and looked so good, I had to make one. The pattern is free - check it out here. Rather than Lopi- Lite, I am using Cascade 220. Any worsted weight yarn will do.
I've gotten a bit further along on my Sea Glass socks.
These are samples for our current sock class. We'll be turning the heel and working the gusset on Saturday. Everyone has raved about the Sea Glass colorway - a Spunky Eclectic special - that I ordered more from Amy. Well, that second reorder has been snapped up by reservations, and I just asked Amy for more. Luckily she's pretty clever and dyed extra. So... I can continue taking reservations for Sea Glass. Just send me an email or message on Ravelry if you'd like us to save you a skein.
I'm not the only one knitting like crazy. Amanda just whipped up a Meathead hat as a store sample out of Blue Sky Bulky. Very cool.
Hey, you might be saying, What about Amused? Yes, I've been working away on that as well. But, dear camera didn't feel like getting a decent picture yesterday. Hopefully it is feeling better today and I can update you.
