sweatering !!!

The fiber string is front and center in this post --- just put the finishing touches on a sweater pattern, and the picture is the small size sample.  This pattern (and lots of wonderful yarn to make said sweater) is (delightfully) for sale at Knot Just Knits.  It's an easy knit for a knitter, and a good first knit for a learner.  Takers??

packing and working to figure out what I can take - and how much yarn can be crammed into the suitcase (not really... GREAT yarn shops in every city we are visiting !!!)

tally HO !!!

for those of you who followed this past year on caringbridge, via email, phone or in the old-fashioned way of talking, you may remember that I talked about taking a 'walk about' -

and so here goes....

leaving early June and keeping on going.... first touch down in Belgium !!! (lace & waffles & chocolate)
