CeCe, Jaywalker, Mason Dixon Knitting, Vegas
It has been about a week since I last posted. I HAD to go to Vegas for work. It is a tough life. The best part of going, was the long plane ride from Orlando. I had uninterrupted knitting time. It was wonderful! I started and "almost" completed Jaywalker #2. I am making a set of Jaywalker socks for my best friend. I am addicted to the pattern. Jaywalker #2 is, again, using Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn. This time it is Carbon Dating. The colors are a deep purpley red, teal, dark and light gray and a touch of a mustard yellow. I love the texture of the yarn and the stitch definition.
I started working on CeCe from Chic Knits. I was looking for a 
pattern that had some lace, but what really sold me was that it was knit in Rowan Calmer. I love this yarn! I first experienced it when knitting the Shedir hat for my sister's mother-in-law who has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She is not doing well BTW. She is a wonderful person and it saddens me that she will not be here long enough to see her beautiful grandchildren grow up. They are going to miss out on her loving and giving personality.
I went to the library today..it has been a LONG time since I have been there. School is out in a couple of weeks and I want my son to continue reading throughout the summer. He is in the 3rd grade and had a wonderful teacher who taught him the love of reading. I "used" to be an avid reader...that is...until I started knitting. But, we are going to the beach for Memorial Day weekend, and I have to have something to read. Although, I have been seriously contemplating taking some knitting projects and knitting while on the beach! I think that it would be great. But I know my extended family is going to laugh at me. Too bad! They are just jealous that they don't have a great hobby like I do.
Back to my story...anyways, while I was at the library, I had to go and see what they had in the knitting section. There was really not much, except for...the new Mason Dixon Knitting book. It really has some great patterns plus I love the style and content (notice the library bar code at the top). Knitters of all experience levels will enjoy this book. I encourage you to go and check it out.
Ok, that's all I have for now. Have a great Mother's Day weekend
