Once again I’ve found myself far too busy to blog until now. I had another weekend of YTT this past weekend and all my good intentions to do something with the blog on the Columbus Day holiday were eaten by my need to sleep late, go to yoga, relax and oh yeah! Knit! It’s been a mad dash to the finish line in between everything else, but I’m almost there!
Cruddy 11pm iPhone shot. Sorry!
The February Lady Sweater is blocking! I cast off last night during a quick dinner at Whole Foods before my meditation class and threw it in the washer for a quick soak before going to bed. Hopefully it will be dry tonight and hopefully the body didn’t grow as much as I think it did. I used just about every last inch of yarn and the sleeves are a bit shorter than I would normally like, but I still think it’s a cute sweater. I hope to get proper modeled shots this weekend at Rhinebeck, but from the look of the forecast this baby may spend most of the day hidden from view under a very warm coat!
Speaking of Rhinebeck, I’m having a little contest for Zarzuela’s Fibers. Go over to the shop to get the full details on how you could win some yarn or spinning fiber!
And if that isn’t enough, how about another contest too!! Be the first person to find me AT THE FESTIVAL and tell me what HWJF stands for and you’ll win a Morehouse Merino shawl pattern AND the yarn to knit it. (Edited for clarity.) Not bad, eh? And yes, my travel companions are excluded from the contests. You know who y’all are! 
In the meantime I’m going to be working on this:
The Darkside Cowl in Madeline Tosh worsted. I think HWJF and I are going to need all the warm wooly stuff I can muster this weekend!
I’m very much looking forward to meeting old and new friends this year! Safe travels to all! Full report on Rhinebeck and maybe even some wedding planning stuff next week.

LOL — I guess I’ll have to look for you, huh? Can you say “over-eager?”

I know what HWJF means, but I won’t get to Rhinebeck until Sunday, so that counts me out of the contest! But I will find you and say “Hello”.
Enjoy the festival and definitely bring the woolen warmies. It’s supposed to be a cold rainy (dare I say, snowy/rainy for Saturday?) weekend.
I’m in awe of how much you juggle at one time. Seriously!
The sweater looks beautiful, and I look forward to seeing it in person. That’s one of my favorite colors, you have excellent taste.
Woo Hoo!
Have a wonderful time!
Yes! Finished Rhinebeck sweater!!! It’s going to be COLD this weekend, too…I’m prepping myself to be bundled up at he CT ren faire, myself.
I LOVE my Darkside Cowl! I do have to reknit it since I made it a little too wide, but it works with a pin right now.
Excluded?! Yeah, I’d exclude me too. ;^)
Well, maybe you can take the heavy coat off just long enough to get a few FLS photos? Have a wonderful trip (like that will be hard!) and enjoy Rhinebeck!
I’m gathering up everything I need so we can leave as early as possible tomorrow!! I’ll look for you – just to say hi, not in hopes of winning the pattern and yarn!! I’m sure I won’t be the first person you’ll bump in to!
Hope Rhinebeck was a success! Your FLS is beautiful and I can’t wait to see photos of it on you.
It was to great to see you at Rhinebeck! And your FLS looked gorgeous.
