What I Started on My Summer Vacation

As the saying goes "the eyes are bigger than the stomach" or in yarnspeak "I packed way more projects than any human could finish in ten days".  (Well, if the weather had been really bad, I was ready for it!)

Here are the projects I started while on vacation.

The Chenille Hoodie - still in pattern writing phase, but is being knitted hood down and in the round.
Yarn: Bella Chenille by Universal Yarns

Next up from the 2014 Halloween Issue of Just Cross Stitch"

The Remember Me Serpentine Scarf
Yarn:  Alchemy Yarns "Sparky" in "Prairie

Back to my work, or I'll never be done for Fall!

Vacation Bound

It's been two summers since I actually had a vacation.  My family decided I really am in need of a break (especially after middle son's wedding).  So northern Michigan bound we are!
Since no one lets me drive on trips anymore, I figured I could get a lot of knitting done. First project up: socks for my just graduated high school niece.  Socks were knitted using Cascade Fixation in "Arizona Sunset".  Congrats, Becca A!

I have a tendency when packing for vacation to think I will start and finish more projects than humanly possible.  (Hey, it might rain or be a crappy day on the lake...)  My family is placing bets as to how many items I might actually finish.   Since I'm not sure how many I brought, I can't say how much yarn came with me (hey, I left the spinning wheel home this time!).

I will leave you with another finished project, (I had to weave in the ends).  Entrelac Scarf, made in Gina #16.  (It's a much better photo op up here at the lake.)
