What's Next?

With the Silky Wool Cardigan finished, I postulate to origin planning my side yesteryear side project.

God Forfend...

Couldn't perhaps imagine beingness "in betwixt projects" when it comes to my knitting.

I'm non certain I desire to accept on exactly about other sweater immediately.  I definitely don't postulate a sweater together with I discovery it hard making a sweater that Thaddeus looks practiced inwards together with enjoys wearing.

Knitting a scarf or shawl or lid for arts and crafts demo sales seems together with then out of season.  It's together with then hard knitting something that has no feel of urgency to finishing it.

I get got the Millard Fontenot blueprint for The Brethren Sock that I'm working (see below) together with I've too got the Knitted Sheet that volition endure an ongoing WIP for years.

Should I become dorsum to the sweater projection that came inwards minute the concluding fourth dimension I surveyed yous all?


The minute alternative was the Briar Rose yarn called Wistful.


It looks similar I get got well-nigh 2,000 yards of worsted weight yarn (50% Alpaca, 20% Merino together with 20% Silk).  Maybe I'll swatch it upward to encounter what I tin come upward up with.

Current Knitting

As noted previously, I finished the Silky Wool Cardigan.




The neckband is merely a metro of stuff inwards contrary stockinette run upward which is slightly wider at transcend than on the breast together with the follow photos demo the item downwards the centre of the sleeve together with upward the centre of the breast on either side of the push band.



And hither is my progress amongst The Brethren Sock (have yous favorited it on Ravelry yet?)


This isn't typically my type of sock projection equally it requires a lot to a greater extent than attending together with counting of rows, but the stuff is turning out to endure thick together with lush together with I'm enjoying honoring Millard equally I knit it.

Photo Shoot!



Since I exclusively participate inwards 2 or 3 artisan/craft shows each year, you'd mean value photography of my operate wouldn't last rattling important.

Selective Worries

It seems that 1 or 2 of the shows inwards which I wishing to participate are rattling choosy well-nigh who they allow in, together with the photographs submitted amongst the application are the exclusively agency to stand upwards for your operate for evaluation past times the "jury" of people that create upwards one's heed who participates together with who doesn't.

It likewise reminds me every fourth dimension I produce this what mass publishers larn through to test together with larn worthy photographs to include inwards their books.

Suffice it to say, I volition never last a professional person photographer...both because of aptitude together with desire.  But I definitely convey a minor feel well-nigh all the operate that goes into getting a fine photograph.  Like many efforts inwards the creative world, it's well-nigh artistry, difficult operate together with luck.

Current Knitting

You'll convey noted past times directly that I finished the pumpkin spice colored Old Shale Wrap.



The yarn was spun a niggling finer than the other 2 colorways of Persimmon Tree yarn, but it's my favorite lacy, open, drapy stuff of the three.

So, which photos on today's weblog entry would yous submit for entry for a Fine Artisan & Craft Show?



I'm thinking this concluding i shows off the wraps the best, but I've likewise been working on these garments for months, then I may simply last tired of looking at them.
