Summer and the knitting is good!

This summer was filled with knitting and more knitting. I took several knitting workshops in the North Carolina mountains, specifically in Blowing Rock at Unwound. Knitting was held on the wrap around deck and the weather was refreshingly cool! Yes, sweatshirt cool! Just terrific!
I learned to knit two socks at a time on two circular needles and a Fair Isle Felted tote. Knitter's know knitting shops are filled with inspiration for new projects. I came out with a doctor's bag and a fabulous poncho!!!!!

Next I am off to join a Knit-a-Long (KAL)! This is sponsored by Universal, a Ravelry group. Unwound, the knitting shop in Blowing Rock, invited me to join in and we are all on to our next adventure in knitting, a Stained Glass Shawl! I just love the camaraderie! My first KAL!
