Not much progress to report. I am still knitting on the Tangled Yoke Cardigan but it is taking time. I finished the main body part up to the armholes and started the first sleeve. Now I think that I will have enough yarn.

My older son Thomas and I went to the Renegade Craft Fair yesterday. We had planned to go on Saturday but it felt too chilly. The weather was beautiful yesterday and we had a great time looking at all the handmade offerings. We made a few purchases, too. I bought one skein of hand-dyed sock yarn by Aisha Celia and one skein of handpainted lace-weight yarn by travelingrhinos.com. I am very excited about both and cannot wait to get them on the needle. But first the cardigan ...
The icecream cone is for my daughter. It is made out of felt. One of her first words was 'Eis' (German for 'icecream'). It is still one of her favorite foods. And she sees icecream cones in a lot of things (a microphone, picture of an acorn).


Since I don't have anything newly finished to show - here is a picture of Ellen wearing the Polly Pocket Dress from the Miss Bea's Seaside book knitted in denim yarn. I knitted this a while ago and she wore it a lot last winter. It is getting a bit small now, and I am considering knitting her a bigger one, either the same or a similar one. She loves the pockets on this one so I know a new one would have to have pockets.

I can't believe I missed a yarn opp [I didn't see the Aisha Celia]! Oh, maybe, it was SO packed with goodies this year my head was swimming! We should have a sit-in next year with knitters on the sidelines as *performance art* ;p
