As I mentioned before the hubby took Jellybean for the weekend this past weekend and I was FREE! I also happened to have a weekend get-together with some coworkers at a local vineyard winery. My coworkers know I’m weird and if they didn’t know….they do now! I took my Mom’s Christmas Socks with me because I had just literally turned the heel the night before. You guys….I got almost four inches of leg done despite partaking in Wine Slushes and generous sampling! It was just so amazingly soul restoring to laugh, knit and just enjoy the company of others. I definitely don’t do that enough!
My coworkers were so gobsmacked that I could knit without looking. And they thought I was counting and manually making the pattern appear. (I did break that illusion by showing them the yarn ball but they were still duly impressed.) These print yarns from Cascade Heritage are just my favorite go-to gift knit yarns. The patterns are amazing, the fabric is pleasing and they are easy care for non-knitters! I hoping to knock out the rest of the leg and cuff this week. Stay tuned!
Happy Knitting!!

Wow, that’s such a beautiful yarn! Do you have the colorway?
It’s Casscade Heritage Prints in “26 or Holidays” colorway
Oh this is gorgeous! I *totally* needed another project and yarn added to my wishlist. *haha* Is that a short-row heel that you chose? That has come to be my favorite heel, with the after-thought heel a close second.
Actually it’s a toe-up standard gusset heel. I use the toe up gusset instructions from Wendy D Johnson’s webesire
Now how could I not see that? Lovely. π
That sounds like the perfect day! Friends, wine and knitting:) I always think it’s fun to shock people by knitting without lookingπ
That is fab yarn, you totally could have kept them thinking you’re just an utter genius who can make patterns without even looking π
I want a pair . . .HAHAHAHAHAHA
That colourway is so fantastic! I’ll have to keep an eye out!
