The first month of school always seems to derail any knitting aspirations that I might have. I had intended to finish weaving in ends on one of my holiday knitting projects, but between moving and starting a new job, that languished sadly in the corner of the living room. But, I came out on the other end this month and have wrapped up the scarf. I love doing the Noro Scarf from brooklyntweed and have 4 more skeins of Noro that could be used for an addition scarf for the holidays. I love the way that the colors mix and mingle together with this pattern.
Up next in the knitting list is a Clapotis, also for holiday knitting. I started to wind this Brooks Farm Duet in a gorgeous black and will be ready to cast on today or tomorrow. I just have to unearth where my pattern binder may be located in the boxes of books that we moved directly into the attic.
Last, but not least, the reason why I may re-up my STR Rockin' Sock Club membership arrived late last week. The spoiler button was posted up top for those who don't want it to be revealed, but here is the actual photo. Tina had taken a picture of tide pools near her home in Oregon and the inspiration is magical in the colorway that it produced. It is by far my favorite of the skeins that we received this year. But, I am still wondering about signing up again or using my fun funds to try a new club like that of the Plucky Knitter or Sundara. I'll let you know when the jury comes back with a firm decision.
Sorry that it was so long between posts, I hope that everyone in the blogosphere is well and for those celebrating holidays this week, enjoy!
