Yarn Along..



Slowly chipping away at the unfinished object pile 
of knitting projects (UFOs)

Adore this scarf pattern by Janina Kallio
~ Terrain~


Knit with some of my naturally dyed yarn:
Golden rod over-dyed with Indigo.

I find myself impatient for the Queen Anne's Lace
and Golden Rod to come this year...


Reading some lovely natural dye books from the library.

Trying hard to finish the UFOs before casting on something new.  

Knitting on a 3 year old wrap from hand spun now, but 
couldn't resist casting on the Moto Vest by Shelli Westcott.
So simple and chunky yarn..
Looking wonderful from all the 
Woolful podcast chatter...

I said trying right?

Yarn Along..



Goldenrod over dyed with Indigo..
Had to knit it up for myself.

For some reason I am in LOVE with brilliant green lately.
Probably because it it so gray here.

Scarf pattern:
'Terrain'
by
Kallio Knits

Reading:
Uppercase Magazine

I've been wanting to subscribe to Uppercase for some time now.
When I read that this issue had a feature on feed sacks, 
I knew it was time to jump on board.

Uppercase is absolutely wonderful.

Savoring 
every
single
page.


There are a lot of familiar fabrics in the magazine.
These little quilt squares were sewn by hand, while I was camping, over
20 years ago.  Ironed them with a coffee pot as I went.
So much fun to pull them out of the attic and see them again.

Dad even remembers a shirt made from one of the fabrics as a child.

Any other feed sack fabric fans out there??
