Ruth, Martha and I were able to get together this week for our Rhinebeck 2.0!
Here is a picture of us in front of Holley Falls, (Holley, NY).
We had fun, and did a lot of nothing which felt wonderful to me.
We traveled to the Wool Room at Longmeadow Farm in Freedom, NY.
I got this nice Farm Flock Trio Blend, dyed in greens. it will become mittens, I think.
Ruth got me this pretty pink/gray sock yarn from Turtlepurl Yarns...so cute.
And Martha got me this Uneek sock yarn...it is self striping.
There were many other presents also....
I did not get much knitting done this week.....Three more repeats and I will take sleeve stitches off on the sweater. The rows are very long now, and it looks like a big blob
JUiST No 2.
Ruth is really moving along on her pretty sweater.
Here is a picture of her first sweater back, blocked, and the first front.
Here is the first front blocked, and the start of a sleeve.
She will probably have it done by next week!
Martha is working on her complex sweater: Counterweights
She always says it best in her own words so here you go:
Here is completed back:
Here’s my front on the back . Ok, now you see the mistakes. Yes, the
front is not blocked. Some sins might be corrected. Like the bottom
seed stitch which is supposed to be a split tail finish. The top is
short a row. Yes I’ll try to make it a design feature.
So check out this f up. The remit is about an inch longer on the top. 
.
I think I’m going to gather them when I sew together the sides and make
it a space for the girls. Sound good? Ugh! 🧐 if Anne asked why I have
gathers on the side of my sweater I’ll just say nor everyone looks like
a stick! Lol.
We are in serious gift knitting season. I have to get cracking. Usually I'm much further along by now.
Have a good week dear blog readers.
Stay safe and be kind.
