It is a sad fact that as the amount of work I have increases, the amount of time I have for knitting, & the blogging that documents it, decreases proportionally. In fact, I'm writing this while waiting for my computer to export the latest changes to the video I'm currently editing.
I have however, managed to sneak a little knitting in here & there. I've finished the hood on my Central Park Hoodie & am now knitting the first button band. I'm really looking forward to choosing some buttons for this sweater! In fact, I should add them to my list of things to look for at the Madrona Fiber Arts Festival next weekend!
I hope to spend both Saturday & Sunday at the festival. On Saturday, I'm going to check out the marketplace with some friends & members of my knitting group. And on Sunday, I've signed up for a class entitled Get the Best From Your Variegated Yarn: Patterns & "Un-Patterns". Everyone in the class is required to bring one skein of worsted or bulky weight yarn where the color sections are between 1" & 6" long. So after realizing I didn't have anything quite like that in my stash, I went to Weaving Works & picked up a skein of Crystal Palace Cotton Twirl in Berry Compote. It was unseasonably warm in Seattle that day & I think I was inspired by the bright floral colors. I can't wait to see what it becomes!

For now though, it's back to work. Because you know what they say. All play & no work makes V! a broke girl!

ooh, interesting! i hope you'll share some stuff you learn at that class-- i definitely have the problem of loving variegated yarns in the skein and then not knowing what to do with them. linen stitch is my newest solution to this problem, but it gets really tedious!
