My plan was to stick to only the Christmas knitting projects that need to be finished before casting on any new projects. One particular project has a significant amount of knitting to be done in what is, a very quickly, shrinking time period. Hence, my rule, that project has to be finished and nothing else can be worked on until that time. I was doing well with, however, I wasn’t knitting. I was just finding other things to do. I realized I really wanted to knit with the awesome yarn I bought at the trunk shows from Destination Yarns. Specifically, the Campfire colorway which screams fall. I thought it was an ombre dyed yarn and spent a lot of time on Ravelry searching for a cowl pattern that would show off the ombre effect and finally found one. I went upstairs to wind the yarn and found it I was wrong, it’s not ombre dyed. Back to the drawing board…
I could not find anything that was speaking to me, nothing this yarn wanted to be. At long last, I stumbled across Emita. The fun thing about this choice is that it’s done by one of our local knitters which makes this an all Cleveland project. I’ve had a lot of time to work on it this week and it’s coming along nicely. I just adore the colors in it and I really feel like I should be sitting around a campfire knitting it.
I can’t wait until it’s finished! I think at the end of the year I will have to take a look back on all these posts and see if any were actually finished and give a year-end update!
