This week I'll tell you about my trip to Iceland.  It's the perfect vacation for a knitter.  The weather calls for wooly handknits and there's yarn everywhere!

I didn't finish anything over the past couple of weeks but I worked on the Dwelling Cushion and a pair of vanilla socks.  I also cast on a mystery knitalong project, the Miss May Shawl.

This week I finished my Curling Mist Socks and I cast on the Dwelling Cushion.  I also have some travel knitting ideas.  On top of that, a goat has invaded my world.

This week, I've finished the Goldfish Memory shawl.  Yay!! I've picked the Curling Mist Socks back up and I'm looking for mini skein patterns because I have some on their way to me from Australia.

I also have some quilting plans. Unless I get stuck in the chicken coop...again.

This week I finished two projects that I hadn't even started last episode.  One is the Sunflowers Will Rise hat. The other is a test knit from Sally Jane Designs, the Bluebird of Happiness Mitts.

I spent last weekend in Savannah, GA, and went to The Frayed Knot yarn shop. I have lots of new yarn to talk about, obviously.

This week I still haven't finished anything new but I'm working on several big projects.  I made progress on the Goldfish Memory wrap, the Copper Canyon Cardi and Aileas, the cardigan from Isabell Kraemer.

There's lots going on at the farm. Chickens have moved around and a goat is moving away.  I also planted some peppers and tomatoes.

This week, I haven't finished anything. I have however, been working on the Goldfish Memory wrap.  I had a problem with my stitch count but I fudged my way through.  I also figured out a problem with the Copper Canyon Cardi. There was a misprint in the pattern.

Our roosters are not playing well with others. It was quite an ordeal to watch them. We are also still making plans for a trip to Iceland.  I hope to have a capsule wardrobe for the trip and keep my packing light. More room for yarn!

This week, I finished my advent mini/scrap yarn shawl. I used 12 minis plus a main color. I did an icord bind off. I also cast on the Copper Canyon Cardi but had some issues with the instructions.

The farm animals are all doing fine. We have gotten several double yoke eggs lately so there might be a particular hen that tends to lay them. A local mail thief has caused us to spend money on a lockable mailbox--grrr!

I found some washable mop pads for my Swiffer Wet Jet. I'll review them for you.

Finally, we are making plans for a family trip to Iceland in the near future. Any travel tips?

This week, I finished the Midas Hat.  I'm also still working on my advent mini shawl but it's getting close to the finish line.  I swatched for the Copper Canyon Cardi by Rachel Raimo.

I found a new sock knitting book, The Sock Knitting Bible by Lynne Rowe. Check out my review of it!

Have you tried ordering glasses online?  I have placed an order with Pair.  I'll let you know what I think once my glasses arrive.

Stay until the end for bloopers.

This week I finished another hat and cast on a new one.  We went camping and I got to do some yarn shopping.  We also had someone steal our mail.

I have two sweater projects in mind, one of them from a new pattern book, Handmade from Traveling Yarn.

Also, there are bloopers at the end.

This episode I have lots of finished projects-knitting, embroidery and sewing.  I found several interesting MKALs (mystery knit-alongs) and some books that you might like.

I finished the Rose Cottage Cowl, Lambing Mitts (2 pair), Kick in the Pants Socks and even a pair of running pants (sewing).
