A New Trick!

Good morning - I've been awake since 5:30 am - my daughter woke us up because she heard scratching in her room. Turns out it was ice pellets hitting the window - this prompted me out of bed to go have a look.....yup ice out there and lots of it! School buses were even cancelled by 6:20 am which never happens - usually York Region waits and waits and waits unti the last possible minute so it must be bad!

I took a class at Unwind on Saturday with Meghan - amazing friend, pattern designer and teacher! It was learning to make a beaded scarf - Meghan was sure I wouldn't last for the whole 2 hours - I'm not known to like or have the patience for fussy stuff but guess what? I not only lasted for the whole class, I actually loved incorporating beads into my knitting. Look!

Sorry it's blurry - could be that I've been up for hours and feel kind of blurry myself!






Here's the Zen Yarn Garden! This yarn is amazing - it comes in these tiny 60 grams skeins which make you think you will never be able to finish a pair of socks but the yardage just goes on and on and on - I'm almost finished this sock for a size 7 shoe and there is plenty left for the next sock! This colorway is Northern Lights.

I need some help - thinking of new sock yarns? What fibers would you like?

Alpaca
Cashmere
Merino/Silk
Kona Superwash

I'd love some feedback!
