Our Knitting Getaway Weekend at Rising Phoenix in Maryland was
wonderful despite starting under torrents of rain. This made us more
appreciative when we saw the sun late Saturday, but also was perfect
weather for knitting, massage, great meals and wine. Color and Slip
Stitches are such creativity boosters that we both came away jazzed
to start projects in color combinations discovered over the weekend.
If you're planning on registering for the May 21-23 Knitting
Getaway Weekend at Kirkridge, let us know by May 1 so we can
save you a space. You'll be glad you did!
New Patterns
Last month we released two new patterns, both by Dawn Leeseman.
For a trendy layered look, knit up
Tuxedo Vest. Seed stitch enhances the visual interest of the
solid merino yarn used for the back and showcases the bursts of
color in the coordinating yarn of the fronts. An applied I-cord
completes the vest with a smooth finished edge.
Shimmering metallic yarn sits like jewels inside smooth slipped
stitches. The
Jewel- Z shell is quite elegant, but it is very easy to wear. If
sparkle isn't what you want, you can create equally interesting
jewels using handpainted yarn or contrasting colors.
We have other Spring/Summer designs "in the hopper" from Dawn
Leeseman, Susan Shildmeyer and Galina Fedchenko. Hopefully the
weather will cooperate soon; in the meantime, the yarns and colors
for Spring/Summer 2004 are fabulous.
