Woohoo, Yoohoo SPA

This entry was posted on January 21, 2009 and is filed under Finished Projects,Random,socks.

Tangled Yoke is finally finished, blocked and only needs to be properly photographed. Luckily, the days are getting a little longer and there is still light when I get out of work so I will be able to get outside pictures soon. The button band is not perfect, it does not gape,only  curves a little around the buttons but it is not really noticeable when worn. The wrinkles under the cable blocked out really nicely though. I did not even have to force them, just soak the cardi and let it dry flat without pinning it.

Since then I have been working on the Woodsmoke socks, finished the first one and turned the heel on the other. This might be the first time I will actually complete a whole pair for the Solid Socks KAL in time.




In other news, I just booked a hotel room for SPA,  Knit and Spin Weekend in Freeport next month. Last year I only made it there for an hour after work on Friday and wished I could have stayed longer. I know,  it is sounds crazy to pay for a hotel room in a town that`s about 15 minutes drive from my house and every time I am telling somebody about it (like at work when I was taking the weekend off) I have to laugh but the weekend falls on Hubby` birthday so we decided to make a small vacation out of it (Thank you, Pookie!). I hope to see you there next month!

  The socks and the cardigan are gorgeous! I love the colors you chose for both -- very vibrant. Actually, they remind me of Raspberry tea. Yum! Enjoy the retreat! Vacation, after all, is a state of mind.

  I'm sure you already wrote this in a previous entry, but what yarn did you use for Tangled Yoke? It's beautiful! It reminds me of the Silkroad Tweed I'm using for Cassidy.
  
  I've never been to SPA, though every year I say I'm going to go! How many vendors are there?

  I am so inspired by your knitting, both the quality and the quantity! I am wondering what dress form you are using. I am looking into purchasing one and I think this one is available on Amazon. Do you like it? Is it user friendly?
  Thanks!
