Beth's Current Projects

Fifth Project (there should not be a fifth project):
Lace scarf made with Springtide Farms cashmere, a lovely dark red color.
Mindless Easy To Knit/Spin Project to Take Anywhere:
Trekking socks that I started on the knitting cruise at the end of September.
Sweater or Shawl Project:
Hanne Falkenberg Ballerina jacket.
UFO Project (from The Bins of Time):
Black socks that I started knitting who knows how long ago. I found them when I was cleaning...
SPA/Fiber Frolic Project (made from Spa or Fiber Frolic 2009 purchases):
Tencel/merino fiber spun on my new Millpoint spindle; I think I might break the mold and make socks with this yarn instead of gloves. I got both the fiber and the spindle at the Fiber Frolic 2009. I have the first sock knitted and am just starting to spin the fiber for the second sock.

We got some new stuff at Unique One while I was out cruising, and today:

We got new summer clothing in a nice sunshiney yellow.

We got new Bartlettyarn.

I finished my Mystery Sock #1 on Monday and have worked through clue 2 on the second Mystery Sock. Here is a picture of what the Mystery Sock looks like:

It has beaded butterflies on it :)

I have a great coffee cup cozy that I put on coffee cups to prevent my hands from burning as I carry it back to the store from the Deli; it was lovingly crocheted for me by my dear friend Peggy (I think it was a free pattern on the Berroco website). I love it very much. Peggy made it from handspun yarn that she spun; she got the fiber from my friend and coworker Tracy, who dyed the fiber for her about 3 years ago or more. Here is the cup cozy.

About a month ago, Tracy decided to dye some yarn and make herself a shawl/blanket from the book A Gathering of Lace. Here is her shawl:

So when I came in this morning and set my coffee cup down next to her shawl, it was kinda funny, because my coffee cup matched her shawl:

We decided Tracy must really like those colors! They are a good match, especially for hand dyed fiber and yarn, dyed 3 years apart. I told Tracy she should give me the shawl.

Comments

I just got such a laugh out of that. I think Tracy should give you the shawl too. You could start a new trend in fashion. A coffee cup cozy driven wardrobe!! Kelley:-)
