Fresh Findings

I'm feeling super inspired this weekend...and I am completely embracing my new found motivation to eat healthy and eat fresh. I'm trying to cut out processed food and be more aware of my choices. 

Yesterday, it was rainy and quiet here. I went to a great organic market and then made chai tea. Started a new knitting project using Rowan Kidsilk Haze. I am combining that with a soft merino Highland Duo yarn....beautiful eggplant color. I want to do a wrap with this color, chocolate brown and a stormy grey. Knitting in seedstitch....I'm only about an inch or two in....




tea....with my grandmothers antique tea set...xo

Weekend Retreats

I love the weekend and we have a great dinner planned this evening at one of my very favorite restaurants. It will be a night of good company, Tuscan food and wine. But....I'm also in the middle of a new knitting project and I hope to steal some time for that before tonight's outing. I am working on a poncho done in a super soft kid mohair. I love this yarn and it's rich cocoa color. I'm using size 10 circular needles. I think this project will take me forever...I knit slow...but it will look so great come fall with jeans & my Frye boots!

Just finished this scarf in seed stitch using just one skein of Knit Collage Sister Yarn. I cast on nine stitches using size 19 needles by Lantern Moon. This is the best yarn I've ever knit with! Such a pretty rich eggplant color and I love the super chunky, thick/thin texture. Do you have a weekend project? xo
