Even though fall started a couple days ago, it still definitely feels like summer! But I’m ready to put away lightweight projects and start on something “fall-ish”. I think it’s going to be the Cabled and Buttoned Wrap. It’s a free pattern from Lion Brand that wraps around you like a shawl but can button in the front. Using Aran-weight yarn, it should be pretty quick. Thanks to a friend who just made one for alerting me to this pattern!

And thanks to another friend who got me straightened out on the Embellish As You Will shawl. We had to frog about 4” of it because of my errors but it’s back on track now.  

I spent a week in northern Wisconsin visiting family this month… beautiful weather, but not much time to knit with 3-year-old twins running around and wanting Aunt Kate to play with them!

KANG has a workshop coming up on February 15-16 on mosaic and fair isle knitting. Details and registration will be on the website closer to the dates of the workshop. Also, keep your calendar open for the next KANG retreat March 27-30 at Camp Lonestar. Last year’s retreat was such fun – I’m looking forward to the one this year!
