I spent all of last week working on the first Fickle Knitter - Zen Yarn Garden collaboration, the first Fickle-Zen Knit Along.
Roxanne dyed the yarn and
Michelle Miller designed the shawl. The yarn is
Serenity Lace II in Raspberry. I used a size 5 needle, rather than than size 7 called for. Now that the weather has turned colder I have become a real fan of small shawls, wearing them around the house and to work. This was a quick and easy knit, and the border pattern is easily memorized. I did modify the pattern slightly by working a knit 3 together on the right hand side, so it would be symmetrical with slip, knit two together, pass slipped stitch over on the left hand side.
I signed up for The Unique Sheep's
Sip 'n Stitch Coffee Club this fall and received my first shipment this past Thursday. A bag of coffee (whole bean), a coffee cup and, of course, yarn.
It makes me want to get one of those hutches that have the hooks for the coffee cups, and an espresso machine so I can really enjoy the flavor of the coffee. I don't usually drink coffee, so when I do I tend to splurge.
