Last days of October
long post with several questionable-quality photos
Thank you for the birthday wishes. They warmed my heart.
Florenz is finally finished. My LYS had a shipment of the yarn that I needed to finish the toe. This was fun to knit. I really enjoy slipped stitch patterns.

Pattern: Florenz from the yahoo group Socken-Kreativ-Liste
Needles: Magic Loop style, US#1 for the leg and foot, US#0 for the heel and toe.
Yarn: La Petite Knitterie Hand Painted Merino Sock Yarn (a beautiful peachy color), and Wildfoote sock yarn in the color Moss.
Last weekend I went to see my daughter at college. She had one of the lead roles in the fall production. I went up early Saturday morning so that I would have time to indulge myself with a little side trip....Carlton, Oregon. What is in Carlton? Woodland Woolworks!

This is wine country. There are tasting rooms all along the way to Carlton.



This unassuming sign and pretty flower box adorn the door that opens into a wonderland of spinning wheels and fibery goodness.

I also finished a pair of Fireside socks using Rowan Big Wool...

I bought another project bag last week (I think I have a weakness). The etsy store is called Superbuzzy. This is a small, short knitting bag. It is SO fun...



Yesterday I walked in the door after teaching class and a package was waiting for me in the living room.

The Florenz socks are beautiful! So happy to see the Capistrano Fiber Arts Yarn being used so well. You didn't say how the Show was or take any proud Mom pictures to share with all of us.. :)
The project bag looks cute. I've seen a few project bags and I understand, You can never have too many shoes, to much yarn or too many purses/project bags lol
Congrats on the Lendrum Selection, I'm still up in the air and leaning towards the Fricke S160 folding, probably get it from Woodland Woolworks too.
Is this your first Posh Yarn? It looks like Lucia sock yarn. mmmmmm so nice! Swatch it in the round and let it speak to you! You know, "once you knit with Posh, their is no turning back" Lovely Peacock coloring too! Susan must be very special to have sent you such magnificient yarn. We're so happy for you! Can't want to see what it becomes!!!!!!

Yeay! I'm so happy you found the yarn to finish those gorgeous socks! Nice pics of your visit to Carlton. Very cute knitting bag, and beautiful Posh yarn!
It is Lucia. It's my favourite yarn that Dee and Tony do.
My christmas present last year was the sock club from Posh Yarn and I still have some Lucia to use up.
So glad you are happy with it.
