First of all, I didn’t get a chance to share who my 2019 Fearless Knitting treasures went to for Christmas. One more great thing about Fearless Knitting, the treasures you have to give away are fabulous.
I know I've used this as a title before but it is so perfect right now. We are packing to leave after being here since December 19 and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" Thank you Judy Collins. Is it too early to reminisce before something is over? I hope not because I am going to reminisce about my 2020 January at the Coastal Condo. First of all, I didn’t get a chance to share who my 2019 Fearless Knitting treasures went to for Christmas. One more great thing about Fearless Knitting, the treasures you have to give away are fabulous. Friday December 6, P.E.O. Chapter EI had our Christmas party. I decided to donate something which turned into a raffle. It was the Secrets and Storms wrap with the amazing little flowers created with the Aster Stitch. My dear friend Martha Melcher won the wrap. I’ve know Martha since my senior year in high school. Her husband Cal was a first year teacher. I asked Martha to take a picture of her in the wrap but the stinker cut her beautiful face out. If you want to read more about Secrets and Storms just refer back to Knitting: A Love Story February 2019. I always give the Marvelous Carmen Wigman, the magician who tames my hair, something from my treasure box. This year it was Frozen Lake made out of Twisted Fiber Art Mermaid. I love this so much. You can learn more about Frozen Lake in KALS January 2019. You all remember Evie, my best friend from college. I love to give Evie things I’ve knit. She doesn’t knit so she thinks what ever I do is magic. She got Fan-Tastic. I loved knitting Fan-Tastic. I loved everything about Fan-Tastic. I love the yarn, I loved the pattern and I loved figuring out a tough knitting stitch. I even have the Fan-Tastic 2 yarn waiting for me. Some patterns you just can’t get enough of. Mary Fox lives next door at the Costal Condo. I had to pick something out for Mary who has welcomed us with open arms and introduced us to things and people at Sea Trail. She is the best. I wish I could remember the name of this pattern. It’s not in my iBooks PDF’s so it must have been a paper pattern I misplaced. Right before we left for the Coastal Condo, my knitting buddy Thea and I exchanged gifts. This is Dove Tail. It is a Mosaic wrap that was so much fun to do that I knit two. The second one will never find a home because Tess chewed a hole in it when she was a puppy. It remains in my closet until I figure out how to fix and/or hide the hole. If you want to have some fun and end up with a spectacular wrap, this is the project for you. This is done in Kauni EQ with different colors knit together. In addition, I fixed a hole in this sweater for a P.E.O. sister. The hole was right above the left side of the pocket insert. I think I did a pretty good job. I got this on December 6 and have taken it with me through all of our December and January travels. It has been to Ann’s By Design, The Yarn Barn of Kansas and Knit ‘N Purl. Every LYS I’ve been in, I’ve taken it out and asked for suggestions. I ended up picking up the raveled stitches and doing a 3-needle bind off on the back. I love to solve knitting problems! Maybe this would work for the Dove Tail with the Tess hole. 🤔🤔🤔 I got the front of Yoko done and last but certainly not least. . . I got this much done on Comet. All in all, it has been a marvelous 6 weeks. We are leaving first thing in the morning, spending tomorrow night in Marietta, Ohio then we’ll be home Sunday for the Super Bowl. I do have another major goal for 2020. By December 2020, I will have invited my knitting buddies to the Stash Studio for social knitting. This means a commitment to reorganizing the Stash Studio. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻We’ll talk when I get home.
