I had a shameful knitting week...
only finishing 30 rows or so on my Guernsey Wrap.
The birds nose points to this weeks starting point,
I completed "Chart B" and have now moved on to "Chart C" of the pattern.
Had I not fallen asleep at 8 pm last night, this would be less shameful.
My knitting teacher Leanne once mentioned to me that when I vacation,
I should buy yarn from a local yarn shop.
I always try to do that.
When I was in Mystic I found "Mystic River Yarns" and purchased this yarn for a scarf.
The color is different from what I usually buy,
but I love it...
and those pretty blue flexs will be pretty "pop-up surprises" as I knit!

Oh, I like that color.
I love Sublime yarns. That will make a perfect scarf. Way to push the envelope. Xoxo Andrea @ This Knitted Life
What a neat idea. I love your wrap. I also really love your new colors. My son's girlfriend brought back a lovely scarf for me from Peru. It is baby Alpaca. My goodness, you can't believe how wonderfully soft it is.
I do love wool of any type. Have a nice week Debbie.
yay!!!! Souvenir knitting is my favorite. The whole time you knit with that green yarn you will think of your trip. Then when you wear it...same thing. It's my color green! Love that apple, limey, citron green. Happy knitting!!!!!
What a good idea...to buy yarn from local shops....
Hello, your wrap is looking beautiful. Your new yarn is a pretty color, a great idea to buy the new yarn while traveling. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
Your work is always beautiful! I really like that new color too. :)

*purple debbie hangs head in shame...*
So pretty! Your knitting is beautiful... some weeks we are just more productive than others.
I've missed connecting with you. I hope all is going well. Hugs! Bonnie
No shame in going to sleep early. Unless, of course, you are driving!
The new yarn is lovely. I think 30 rows is pretty good and it continues to look so good. When you fall asleep doing something it means you need the sleep. Take good care of yourself, good friend. Blessings and hugs~
As the night draws in I often pop off to sleep early but I like your new yarn
It is pretty yarn and I love the little bird.
p.s. Speaking as a non-knitter, your 30 rows looks beautiful and impressive :)
Well as I'm not a knitter I say you've done well!
I like the look of the new yarn too.
All the best Jan
I wouldn't know where a local shop for yarn would be in my area. My wife has gotten a few (never did much with it) but it was always walmart or a hobby place
oh my - you just keep surpassing yourself! I so LOVE this wrap - all the patterns! Take your sweet time, it's worth it! And my favorite part is your creativity in photographing the yarns and projects and telling your story!
But the 30 rows you did do are simply beautiful, Debbie! :-)
I love the color of your new yarn, and the blue flecks were the first things that caught my attention.
Yes, very nice work. I took a long break from knitting but I got back to it this summer on vacation. Still love it. I look forward to seeing your finished work, it's going to be beautiful.
Well there's nothing wrong with putting your needles down and enjoying other things! You will have plenty of knitting time all winter long!
