Hurray for Super Bowls

I got to spend the day at Webs knitting nearly 4 hours straight at their yearly Super Bowl Sunday event. It was nice to see many familiar faces and to meet and talk to some new people too. While I was there someone mentioned Northampton Wools having a 30% off sale. I’ve been mulling over what to do about the cuffs and hem of the Misti V-neck Pullover and knew Northampton Wools had some Crystal Palace Kid Merino in a color that may work with my sweater. So I made a quick stop on the way home to pick it up and of course noticed some cool rubber ring markers and got those too. Hopefully I’ll stop flicking my stitch markers across the room.

I finished weaving in the ends of my Moonlight Madness scarf and hopefully will block it and mail it sometime this week. I also hope to get the finished potholders sent out this week too.

I’m making a lacey camisole using Plymouth Yarn’s Royal Bamboo for the store. But I’ve already made a mistake that I can’t ignore.

The lace panel is supposed to have two columns of yarn overs on either side with yarn over V’s going up the middle. You’d think I was drinking heavily when knitting this. But honest, I wasn’t. Time to start over.

I was madly knitting the Picovoli today and had to try it on when I got home to see if it was going to fit.

Looking good so far, except for the neck flipping over in the back and front. But I haven’t even tried blocking it yet, so hopefully that will get better.

Oh, and by the way, I really like working at Webs. I worked two days last week and everyone is so nice and helpful. And then there’s all that touching yarn and talking about knitting and helping customers. It’s been fun so far.

    4. The Webs party was great, wasn’t it? Thanks for giving me your card ;). I was the girl in the Patriots sweatshirt, working on a cabled sweater for my DH. Your picovoli is looking fabulous!
