I bought this kit at Madrona last year and was hoping to have it knit by this year, so I could justify buying another one. Didn’t happen, BUT I bought the circular needle I need and I’ve balled my skeins.

I’m planning to make the Kilim Shawl (scroll all the way down, there’s a photo at the bottom of that page. If you like the Diamond Eyes shawl or the Trilium better, tell me. It’s not too late to change my mind. I’m fluctuating myself).

And I’d love to make a sweater for myself. I just can’t decide on a style, or colorway, or if I should make it a raglan, or if I should totally design my own and try to makes something that would be flattering on me with their yarn/kits. I LOVE Ann and Eugene, and think it’d be groovy to always have one of their kits in the stash to knit up.

I’m taking this one to the cabin this week. Have I mentioned how much I’m looking forward to this? I’m giddy. We’ve cleaned out the car (two 13 gallon trash bags. I find that horrifying. Fortunately, the kids were pretty disturbed, too. Maybe they’ll alter some habits? It’s not from lack of reminders on my part to bring in their stuff when we get out of the car). The laundry is well under way. The girls mopped for me today. We’re making lists of things to bring.

And it looks like we’re going to have respectable weather.
