I hope that you all will forgive how long it has been since my last blog. I have had a lot going on so I think I will do these in short entries over the next few days. Since my last post, I lost my Granny in Tennessee. She passed away at home on March 4th and I left the next morning for Tennessee with my parents. While I was there, I got to see cousins whom I have not seen in 30 years. It was a bittersweet reunion and I hope we will continue to stay in touch through Facebook, phone, and email. I completed a swatch for Interweave Knits winter issue (now the waiting begins again). While we were driving to and from Tennessee, I also finished a blanket for a friend who is due in April. It is Jared Flood's "Wool Leaves." I will post pics once it is blocked. On the trip home I visited the "Black Mountain Yarn Shop." The shop was wonderfully stocked and I was able to get my wife some beautiful Katia cotton with long color changes. I hope she will make something to wear in the spring. As we were checking out and talking I was able to introduce myself and show them pictures of my soon to be published pattern for Skacel (if it would only come out soon). When I got home I had already been friended on Ravelry by the shop. I am so excited about this whole knitting venture. Things are coming together nicely for the Knitting Retreat. My wife and I are very excited. More to follow in the days to come....
