Back from Chelan

So I'm back from my short vacation to Chelan. It was fun. We visited the yarn shop in Leavenworth, and I got the book " Domiknitrix" which is spiffy. I finished up my Fleece Artist socks, I'm having tons of left over yarn from my socks, I should figure out what to do with it. I've decided to knit my socks on size 0's from now on, unless the yarn is thicker or some other circumstance. My next pair, which I will probably cast on for tonight will be made out of Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Yellowstone.


I am excited for the Fleece artist update coming up on the loopy ewe. I still might place an order at simply sock yarn though.
Coming up later this week, pictures of my Woodland Socks, and other ramblings.

Books, Classes, and Other Equally Exciting Things

So I got my copy of Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle that I had ordered from Amazon today. It's interesting. However, I am very tiny and many of the shawls are very huge, and I have a dislike of downsizing patterns. Mainly because I'm lazy. But many of them are very pretty.
I didn't realize there was a Folk Mittens book. Now I must have it. ( In addition to the couple of other knitting books I would like, those being: Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush, Knitting Vintage socks, Also Nancy Bush, and Socks Soar on two circular Needles by Cat Bordhi)

Speaking of Socks ( I am having an alliterative day) I am going to do my sock knitting class as planned, toe up. However, in addition to this class, I'm going to take another on knitting socks on two Circs. It can teach me a new technique, and I can learn how to do them top down. So that will be good.

My hat is finished and seamed up. I'm still working on the feather and fan thing, but I am worried that I made it too wide and its going to end up like a hankie sized square. So I may rip it out. We shall see!
