vacations – Daily Fiber

This project is finally off my needles.

Not sure why it took so long. I guess that I was having too much fun on my recent vacation to focus on knitting. I also had no internet access for almost two weeks.

The pattern is Hermione’s Everyday Socks (for some reason, I am unable to pronounce that name!) I made no adjustments to pattern – just knit exactly as written.

I enjoyed this pattern and would consider using it in a future project. They feel a little loose – guess I should have used a smaller needle size.

The yarn is Wisco Sock from Ewetopia in colorway Superior.

Here’s the link to the pattern. There are 34,000 projects attached to this pattern in Ravelry. Even for a free pattern, that’s a lot of endorsements. If you feel compelled to give it a try, click here:

Hi friends!

I have returned from a long vacation in parts north of here. So many great moments and much material for fibery inspirations!

It’s been hard to get back into the routine of posting to my blog. Yesterday, just as a warm-up, I finished this little painting.

It started life as an exercise in painting a stormy sky. I had left enough white space below my sky to add some foreground. Mitch Zeissler’s wonderful photograph taken in the Florida keys provided my reference image. You can see his work here:

Thank you!

I will be back soon with posts about cool yarn I found, some fabric painting and a knitting lesson just for beginners.

See you then.
