Tax Class Day 2

Another exciting day of tax review class yielded not only some new knowledge, but also some new knits.
I call it Inspired. And it really is awesome up close. It's a cowl that can be wrapped at least twice.
Here it is laid out for blocking.
And here's a close up of the stitch pattern.

Next I used a lovely Noro cotton, silk, & rayon blend to make another pinch he. It's super lightweight and so soft to the touch.

And then I cast on and started a giant (at least 3 wrap) cowl in a lovely alpaca blend that I can calling Seeded since the whole thing is in seed stitch. It should be super warm and luxurious when it's done.

The teacher did start using knitting in his examples during the later part of the day. It was pretty funny. He did also say that he teaches all over the country and I am not the first person to knit through his classes. It sounded like its not actually all that uncommon and he mentioned how he understood keeping your hands occupied could allow you to listen better (and stay awake). So there you have my 2 day tax review class. Now I am ready for both tax season and Indie Emporium.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
