whoops

i was a very productive knitter this past summer, but not a very productive blogger.

in my last post, i was just finishing up my beeline sweater. i finished it just 2 days after that post.











since finishing, i have worn it a few times, and will likely be wearing it this coming weekend when i go to SAFF. the farm i've purchased this yarn from is on the vendor list for the event. although there will be some very popular vendors there (ie: miss babs), i really like this little farm from morganton, nc.



i think this was the last summer top i completed. it's the western slope tee, knitted in lindy chain. it photographs well, it fits well, but i haven't even worn it.

i feel i need to crochet around the armholes, or pick up in knit and bind off, to tame the flaring of the garter stitch edges. i have a wee ball of yarn left, possibly enough for that bit of finishing. and with the season change, i'm not enthusiastic about that task at the moment.

it was a love/hate knit too ... constantly worrying if i'd have enough yarn to knit the top. i did have enough, barely.

they yarn i really like! but it's tricky to finish. the yarn is a chainette and it will unravel. i made little knots at the cut end before weaving in.







oh, and i got a "new to me" car this summer ... it's a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. i still have the truck, with no plans to sell it. but it's such a different ride. so different.
