My Stash Is Coming! My Stash Is Coming!

I moved from California to the Midlands in England this summer. I could only bring so much on the plane so my yarn stash had to stay behind to be shipped separately. Now that I have found a house and am getting settled, my friend back in California has sent several boxes over the weekend including my yarn and cross stitch. It will be perfect timing to get a few sweaters done for the cold season. I can't wait!

Caitlin (Caty) is shown here curled up in the strap of my knitting bag. She has been thrilled with my most recent project - a mohair sweater - and keeps rubbing her face on it and purring loudly. One sleeve still needs to be sewn in and I will post a picture soon.

First Post--Completed I Love Gansey Socks

This week (18/9) I finished the I Love Gansey Socks for the Six_Sox_Knitalong that I joined when I saw it on another members blog and fell in love. Now I can get back to the sweaters that I put down to start them. Usually I knit one thing at a time, two at the most, but I ran out of yarn for one sweater so started the second one. I still have a cabled knit Christmas stocking that needs to be pieced together so I have a few UFO's to finish up and will post pictures as they are done although my knitting time has been greatly impacted since starting a new job a few weeks ago. Hopefully I can make some good progress before the next SSK sock is posted for October/November!
