Amy Herzog Designs

One of the items on my to do list is to knit a sweater that fits.  Several months ago I discovered Amy Herzog's Fit to Flatter group on Ravelry.  She has a newly published book, Knit to Flatter, as well as a Craftsy class.  I purchased both and have learned alot.

Now is the time to get to work, take my measurements and pictures to identify body type and all that good stuff.

All of the knitting I do is for others.  But it would make me happy to knit something for me to wear. 

Wish me luck!

What happened to multi-tasking

This morning while knitting with my Tues morning group at our LYS, I mentioned my lack of mult-tasking skills.  It seems that we are all in the same boat!

I was so excited yesterday to post my Campy Loopy project that I forgot to complete the second half of the post.  Tucked away in my box of fun were some goodies for reaching the Merino Club.

The pair of scissors are cheerful and make me smile.  Who can turn down a Tootsie  Roll treat????

Camp Loopy Box of Fun

Any day is a little brighter when you get a box of fun from the Loopy Ewe.  Camp Loopy starts June 1st.  the challenge is to use one skein of lace or fingering weight yarn in a yarn we have never used before.

I have chosen Shalimar Zoe Sock yarn in Tamarillo.  The color is lovely and I think it will make sweet little baby girl sweater.

Now i know I can only use one of the skeins--I thought that was all that I ordered. My fingers must have thought I needed an extra one for another project.  I am sure I will find something lovely to knit.

Not only did my Camp Loopy stuff come but I seem to have earned a few bonus points.  I am a member of the Merino Club and I am working my way up to the Alpaca Club!

Loopy Ewe 2nd Quarter challenge

I seem to be knitting up a storm these past few weeks.  Truth be told I little energy to do much of anything else.  This is my entry for the 2nd quarter challenge.  It is Easy Colorwork Headbands by Diana Jordan.  I used Tosh Vintage in Stargazing and Silver Fox.

I am very happy with the results.

Madelinetosh Challenge

Posting on two consecutive days!!!!!  I must be getting better.  There is a ravelry group for those of us who love madelinetosh yarns.  The colors are beautiful and the yarn is so very nice to work with.  I have chosen two projects for the MadMay challenge.  My first one is a caberet infinity scarf.  The yarn is Madelinetosh Vintage in vermillon.

 

The second project I chose is Goldilocks mittens using tosh Merino Light in Cherry.  Last year I completed two MadMay projects.  I have made good progress on the infinity scarf. 

Lucky for me this challenge ends and then I start Camp Loopy.  Life is good!!!

Hello, again

It seems like a life-time since I last posted.  I mentioned a flu-like virus that I had--well I am still recovering.  Each week is better than the last.  But this has taken it's sweet time.  So far this week I have resumed an almost normal routine without having to spend a day and half resting up!
Have you ever  "been to" Camp Loopy?  Last year was my first time and it was grand.  Knowing that camp is going to start soon helped with my recovery.  I have chosen Shalimar sock yarn in tamarillo.  The pattern I have chosen is Little Princess Kimono.

I hope to post a picture tomorrow of what is currently on my needles.

April's Finish

I am liking this mystery quilt more and more.  I can't wait to start May's clue.
