State of the Knit Address
So what’s on the needles? Nothin’ really.
Am I a seasonal knitter? Perhaps.
In the Dublin mountains, no on-site husband, no garden, no distractions.
In America, there are too many other summery pursuits.
The stair tread work is stuck in a suitcase.
Will probably run out of yarn and would hate to buy more for a ‘recycled’ project.
Received a lovely yarn donation from Holly to keep it moving along.
A bit too hot to manage a lengthy wool felted snakes.
The black lace bolero is history.
Love the daisy lace pattern.
Too distracted these days to focus on a fiddly project.
Dumped the pattern but will use the lace design for a manageable lace pashmina.
Backed with a silvery, shimmery fabric to highlight the lace.
Think it’ll be a stunner.
I would really like to buy a new knitting book.
One with lovely patterns that get the creative juices flowing again.
Haven’t found anything.
Guess that means I have enough patterns waiting in the queue.
Oh wait.
Stumbled upon Ysolda’s Liesl.
Pay Pal is just too easy.
Downloaded it in an instant.
Have some teal cotton I’ve been storing until a pattern came along.
Perhaps it’s enough yardage.
This just might be the incentive I’ve been looking for.
Next thing is to unpack my needles.
At least your knitting is seasonal and you can look to the future. Mine is non existent at the moment. Rainy, chilly weather should spur me on, but no! Anyway. Love the cardi. Good style for you.

For some reason I seem to be hung up and can’t get the jump start I need to finish what I already have started or to start what I already have the yarn for…..
I guess I will work in the garden or read a book.

Pretty colour; can’t wait to see how it turns out.

You are entitled to a little time to catch up and regroup. Me, I’ve just barely taken up the needles after a lonnnnnng hiatus and it’s pathetic to even call mine a knitting blog. A request from an Orphan Foundation kid did it.
I’m excited.

hah! I was GOING to say “first you have to find the knitting needles - and then unpack them. . . .” but then I remembered who I was dealing with!
[I'd be the one still looking for where in the world the knitting needles might be. . . . not you. . . . . sigh]
I agree with Holly: great style for you! AND colour.

I don’t tend to get much knitting done in the summer, either. Cold winter days seem more conducive to knitting.
That’s a beautiful cardi; can’t wait to see it when you get it all knitted up!

what a lovely cardi…pay pal is that easy, eh?

I can’t believe your needles are still packed ! If you want cooler weather, you should have stayed in Ireland
