Vacation knitting.

Ok on to what I knit on my vacation.....

I started Starsky Jr. for my niece, 2 sleeves and tad more were completed on this, it has not been touched since, don't tell my niece.

I spent the majority of my time on the Bee Fields Shawl, I would get up and enjoy the early morning quiet time by working lace on the deck, so relaxing. I got through the next section and have one more to do. I love how this is coming together, I so wish I could quit my job and knit full time. I have so much I want to do now and just can't find enough time for each one.

The green Boat Neck did not see the light of Canada, but was thought of fondly. Only sleeves to go!

My goal was to finish Tangled Yoke, now that goal was revised pretty early on to lets finish up the bottom half of Tangled Yoke right before you start the sleeves. This I did. And since then I have finished the sleeves and am YOKING!!! A few more inches and I can Tangle. Exciting. I am excited to finish this up, even if I do think the sleeves will be a bit tight and give me the sausage arm look.

All in all a great vacation and quite a bit of knitting was done. I even taught or shall we say refreshed Mark's Mom on how to knit. She knit years ago and it came back quickly.

Bliss.

I went on one of the best vacations ever!!! See, quiet, tranquil, beautiful!!! Even came with a warm CU welcome. See that huge deck off the cabin, that is where I knit to my hearts content!!

With that view of the water... So pretty.

It really was wonderful, beautiful sunsets, tons of knitting and relaxing, no internet, no cell phones complete vacation from work, family and what not.

Occasionally there was some non-knitting to keep the boy happy. The knitting that happened will be in a post to come.

bzzzz

I have been buzzing along on the Bee Fields Shawl, or I should say I was. Until the Ik Fall came out then it I went back to yoking happiness. I spent the bulk of the time at Camp Wannaknitknit working on the Bee Fields shawl, all weekend I said if I can just get to the next section, that took longer than I took, but I kept going and going. I am now half way done with the next section. I am loving this and have lofty goals of taking it with me on vacation and finishing it!!!

When the IK showed up last week I had to start the Tangled Yoke, had too I say. I was about to venture on a whirl wind tour of a few states what better way to pass the time than knit. I knit on hardly anything else all last weekend. I love how this cardigan is constructed, I really really am thinking I must knit all sweaters either in the round or by the yoking method. I love it. Could be that efficient side of me (maybe slightly too efficient sometimes, which is not always good).

I leave later this week for vacation, I am so excited to not work for a week!!! And of course the knitting to do list is growing exponentially. Come on I can take 3 sweaters and a lace project and think I will finish them all right? Granted one of them is for a child, one of the sweaters only needs sleeves, the lace project is already half done and the 3rd sweater is moving along. I hope to make progress on all of them.

I did finish the front and back of the boat neck sweater and I am excited to finish it, but this damn tangled yoke is getting in the way!!!
