Peterborough

I'm currently having a quiet, heart flutter over a new Norah Gaughan design, Peterborough.

I inherited 7 skeins of Berroco Softwist last year,

and just bought 6 more skeins from a fellow Raveler's stash, so that I'd have enough to make this cardigan.

I'm waiting for my LYS to let me know that they've got the book in, so that I cast on! The dye lots are different, so I hope they match well enough!

Cute and Useful

While at my LYS for knit night, I was easily persuaded to buy the cutest and most useful stitch markers I've ever seen! Each marker has an abbreviation on it - so it's easier to remember what stitch is next!

I was worried that they would be too sticky to move along the needle, like some rubber stitch markers are - but I tried one it worked great!

And Oops! How did this wind up in my shopping bag?

3 skeins of Misti Alpaca Lace in Dark Tan. Perfect for a Hannah Fettig pattern like Wispy, or another Whisper Cardigan (but longer in length, with longer sleeves).

Fur Is on Its Way

Christine did an amazing job - she spun 100% of the fur - nothing was added. There will be enough to make a scarf out of each one. I was a little verklempt when she sent me the pic. I can't wait to get it!
