Autumn

My first published pattern is finally available to see on Knit on the Net!
I just loved working with Cocoon from Rowan. Such a beautiful yarn.

It is modelled in the largest size and shown with the buttons in the front but can also be worn with the buttons in back and a center cable in the front.

...And Now For Something Completely Different

OK. I am all for the power of positive thinking. How long have I been talking about getting back to New Hampshire? Longing for Fall and cold nights knitting curled up on the sofa. Trying to figure out how and when we were going to get there from San Diego. Well guess what happens when something is the focus of your mental energy for so long? My husband was laid off from his job 2 weeks ago today and here I sit in my father's house in NH typing this post. Yes, we left California and moved back East. Made the decision that morning and here we are. Packed up and moved across country in a week's time. We are all here safe and sound and recovering from this whirlwind. Excited to move on to the next adventure. More when we are more settled in...

Colors of Nature

Some inspiration for future projects from the Quail Botanical Gardens.


The gardens are one of our favorite places in the San Diego area and every time we go I see something new. Lots of huge flowers were in bloom on our last visit.

The shades of greens & yellows in this bamboo patch were just beautiful.

More knitting photos to come soon. I'm working under deadline for 2 projects...one to be published in October & one not coming out until the Spring but due in 2 weeks. Stay tuned!
