It's Been a While...

It's been a while since I posted last, and I would like to try and update this more often as I'm trying to get better about taking pictures of my projects while I'm working on them (one good reason to have a smart phone!) So hopefully this will be the first of many new updates...

So what's new?? Lots of knitting, that's for sure! I just finished the Dunlin top from the Seedling booklet by CEY. Love love love it! It was a super quick knit and I'm thinking of making it again in a wool blend of some sort for the winter and lengthening the sleeves to a long sleeve length (maybe even make it a little more form fitting too! :)

On my needles I have the February Fitted Pullover by Amy Herzog, I'm making it in Classy by Dream in Color, I also am working on two vests (same pattern, one in chunky and one in worsted weight) from a Berroco pattern booklet. The chunky vest is in Vintage Chunky by Berroco in a gorgeous plum color and the worsted weight is Weekend by Berroco in a slate grey color. I'm attempting to get both of them done before I get to Maine for my vacation in three weeks.

That's right, I'm going on vacation by myself to Maine!! I'm taking a knitting workshop on an island in Maine over Labor Day weekend, then spending a few days with some friends that moved up there. Can't wait!! :) It's going to be so wonderful!
