I finally finished SOMETHING

It's no surprise, this hot weather just sucks the knitting mojo right out of me. Especially when it means putting a hot sweater on my hot lap in order to finish it!! But when we had a tiny cold snap (how I loved you, cold snap!!!) I got my butt in gear to finish my trip off sleeve island and I finished my modified Flax from last year!!! But when I finished the sleeve (it's only a 3/4 sleeve...how did it take me SOOOO long???) I decided I didn't like the collar, so I ripped that out and did it again! Now it is completely done, all the ends are woven in, it had a bath and now I just wait for it to dry!! So, by my math...I finished 1 thing so I get to cast on 3 more!!!!! My first new cast on is the Salty Air Tee This has been in my queue FOREVER and I have been talking about getting it done...then this weekend TWO ladies on our trip to Salem were making it...so I decided NOW IS THE TIME!!!!! I picked up some gorgeous yarn from Boss Kitty when we were in Salem and upon arrival ...

Hilde's Corner - Hello again!

Hello Everyone!  I have been MIA for the past month, as Jen allowed me time off to be with my family as my daughter got married. We had lots of family come in, some coming from as far away as Norway. So getting the chance to hang out with them as much as possible was so very much appreciated. The wedding was beautiful, and I now have a new son-in-law, who we all adore.  I did, however, miss the shop a ton, and can’t wait to see everyone again! Please say hello when you stop in - I’d love to see you! So what have I been working on this past summer? Honestly, not much as it’s been a crazy busy summer. But Jen’s cruise to Alaska was amazing, and getting to visit so many yarn shops was so inspiring!! I don’t think it has to be said that all of us bought lots of yarn! (I highly recommend next year’s cruise - it has a crochet theme, but knitters are welcome, too. You’ll love being able to go to all the yarn shops in all the places, and have sit and stitch at sea, and all the things ...
