Fall Is on the Way…??
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010…although you can’t prove it by this weather. I’m ready for a little bit of crisp air instead of soggy unbreathable steam. I know for sure I’ll never move to Florida! Meanwhile, the yarns that are arriving at the store are so inspirational and there are so many sweater designs that I want to knit, but I can’t seem to settle in to fall knitting. I’m doing it, of course (that’s my job, lucky me!) but it seems a little surreal to be knitting these gorgeous fall colors and fibers when it’s 95 degrees out every single day. I don’t even want to show you stuff I’m working on because it will make you all sweaty.
David Ritz seems to have no trouble staying motivated. What do you think of his gorgeous sweaters? And he’s about to embark on another really beautiful one from fall’s Interweave Knits. And Joy’s socks are gorgeous, that blue! Lovely – you know I’m into blue big time this season. I’m deliberately not knitting anything blue right now, but it’s hard because that’s what my eye goes to. Tahki’s Dove just came in and there is a lovely blue in it that I heart – but I must resist! Maybe. Or maybe just a great pair of blue socks – hmmm, Joy, you’ve given me an idea.
Our Adult Surprise Jacket Knitalong is almost done and I hope to have photos of finished jackets for you in two weeks. Everyone has done so well and the jackets that have been finished are just beautiful.
The teachers are getting together this week to talk about fall classes, and I hope to have the new schedule ready for publication in 2 weeks or so.
As soon as all this is done, we’ll be talking about fall yarns and designs – it’s going to be a great season, and I’ll be back to posting regularly once the Yarn of the Week sales are done – next week will be the last for a while. I hope you’ve been able to take advantage of them.
We’re redoing the store to get fall yarns out of the stockroom – excuse the chaos. It feels like last week that I was talking about bringing out our new summer yarns! Time marches on, and fall will be here soon – can’t be too soon for me!
See you soon,
Trish
