River Grass Gansey is a lofty project and really want to knit it. I don't like to commit to projects on the blog...it's one of my idiosyncrasies. And here's why. Cast on 272, join for knitting in the round, MAKING SURE NOT TO TWIST THE STITCHES. I knit merrily along, never noticing my lovely mobius until I had enough to measure. See? Bachi! (Japanese for curse) It makes me want to knit a cardigan. And really I'm still not sure it's the right pattern for the yarn. It is rolled up nicely in a little yarn cake now until it speaks to me again. The gansey is still calling to me, but the yarn keeps whispering "lace". Yikes, I hope not.
So I made some earrings and a hello kitty key chain, working on the bead stash.
I've signed up for a couple classes at the
Madrona Fiber Festival. The classes really went fast so no FairIsle beginning class for me. Instead I will be dyeing with persimmons. Also no Yarn Harlot. Oh well. Just being in the same town will be enough:)

That is such a cute keychain!
i'm sure you'll run into the yarn harlot in the marketplace - i spotted her around there a lot last year. it was like seeing a celebrity!
Too bad about your twisted stitches - that really is a pain!
Love your beads, though!
I hate twisting my stitches. That always makes me scream.
I adore that keychain! Too adorable.
Dyeing with persimmons sounds so fascinating. It's just about my favorite fruit.
Ohhhh - I *so* can feel your pain, having been there before - it's a nightmare when that happens, isn't it?
Your keychain is so cute - fantastic work!
Wow, cast on 272...bleck to the twisted stitches. Ack. Love the earrings and keychain.
Ooh, Madrona! Dyeing with Persimmons, really? I like to eat them, but dye with them? I had no idea. Have fun!
Your going to be dyeing! I am so happy to hear this and looking forward to seeing it. Have a great time!

I totally understand about committing to projects on the blog. It seems that more often than not I put my foot in my mouth.
