The Traveler

The name of the pattern, Traveling Woman, was so appropriate since I knit most of this one-skein shawl on a long seven-hour coast to coast flight.



Yarn: The Plucky Knitter, merino/cashmere/nylon fingering in colorway Tracy Lord Haven
Modifications: added extra repeat of Chart A, total of three repeats

souvenir


It's a skein of fingering weight Alpaca from Owl Brook Alpacas. I couldn't resist the colorway.


A couple of gorgeous alpacas that may have had a part in the souvenir.

There were other cuties there too.



Someone's a little upset about the whole bathing thing.

This suburbanite is so easily amused by nature. :)

can't get enough of autumn

I finished my Shawl that Jazz just in time for my journey in search of fall. And by pure coincidence (or maybe just my color preferences), the BMFA LSS in Oregon Red Clover Honey was the perfect color for the season.



Of course there was a search for fiber. At The Fiber Studio--Mecca for fiber/spinning/knitting/weaving/beading enthusiasts--one of the vendors had a beautiful fiber ornament meant to be hung outdoors for birds to snatch pieces of fiber for their nests. How cute is that?


Then there was the apple cider doughnut snack at the apple farm. Yum!

Leaf peeping

I'm on a long weekend to see autumn.

Not much weather where I'm from, so it's fun to see the seasons.

I finally finished my Shawl that Jazz and it's so awesome. Photos to come soon.

I stopped into a yarn store during my search for autumn color. I escaped without more yarn, but a set of Addi clicks decided to come home with me. :)

Happy autumn!
