WIP

Yes, I know I'm not the best blogger out there.

However, I'd like to share my WIP.

While vacationing in North Carolina last month, we found the neatest yarn shop in downtown Asheville - Purl's Yarn Emporium. Lesley, the owner, is a talented knitwear designer as well as a very sweet person. She graciously gave me a copy of her Shawl Collared Wrap Cardigan, which I am knitting up in Nashua's Sitar in the Sunshine Spruce Colorway.

Here is the back:



And here is a close up of the stitches:


It's a lovely thick/thin yarn and the colorway is phenominal! Can't wait to finish.

And of course, Hogwarts Week is fast approaching at Indiana University. DD already had a Gryffindor scarf, so I'm now busy working on this Ravenclaw version:

I'm using Unger's Utopia in Dark Navy and Soft Grey. Love it!

Yesterday was the Southern Indiana Fiber Fest. As much as I SWORE I wouldn't buy anything - there were 3 (yes, I know) fleeces that were just BLEATING to come home with me. Look for pictures soon.
Now, get out there and enjoy this GORGEOUS fall day!
