I have been playing around with stuff in my stash making swatches. It has been fun. I ordered this pattern From Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill, at Mare's suggestion. Mare is correct, the pattern is deceptively simple and I love the results. I have only played with one of the patterns but the others will be fun to try.
I have been wishing for cooler weather so I can start a bigger project. I have ideas for three sweaters. One will be another Astrid and one will be just plain wool although I think I might try a custom dye job on the wool first! We will see......
I also fell in love with the Noro Yarns Pattern Book 2 by Jane Ellison. I want to make "James"
In Kureyon #55. A nice plain, simple sweater to show off a nice Noro yarn.
My Mother and Aunt are comming for a visit next week, I can not wait to show them around Virginia.
And I am turning.......40......goodness I do not feel 40 years old, well my kness feel 40 sometimes.
All for now................
How pretty that is!

I love that stitch & it would be great for handpainted yarns! Can I ask what the pattern is? Is the stitch from a book like Barbara Walker's knitting treasury?
