Now I must pack up all my new work for my trip to Yellowknife NWT. I hope to have internet access so I can blog my trip.
What shall I knit for this long airflight of 7.5 hours, one way? I'll be figuring that out while I pack.
PS. As a blogger, I am a piker. Today the Yarn Harlot got 759 comments. How does one read them all?

ReplyDeleteGinkos...keep on stitching....
Have a great trip to Yellowknife...you will be an inspiration to them all..and it will be a good get-a-way for you.
759 comments? WOW.... You are just as popular we just don't respond enough...and yes, you are way too busy to read that many.
Melody, these leaf works of art are just beautiful. I've followed your art for awhile, and these are absolutely the most beautiful! It looks like the leaves are falling, and gives a very light feeling to me.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like these a lot!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and enjoyable trip, Autumn in Canada is awesome.
Love your leaf designes, makes me want to try to do something with leaves. Fall has arrived here in california and the leaves will be turning soon. Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I loved the way your neckdown pullover turned out and have sent for the same pattern. I've never knitted anything but scarves so this will be a chalange for me. I also bought the basic hat and mitten set and beginner socks. I love the knitting pure and simple patterns. This winter I will really become a knitter. thanks for posting your pullover.
ciao your quilt are beautifull
