I’ve split off the sleeves and am knitting down the body of Graphito by Heidemarie Kaiser. Calling it my NoCKRs Sweater since both yarns are the retreat yarns (2023 and 2024). Seismic Yarns Butter Silk and Invictus Yarns Seraphic–both fingering weight.
Still working on Desert Lavender socks out of Smirligan’s yarn. Soft green, purple and natural white variegated yarn. One sock is finished and I’m knitting slowly down the leg of the second sock.
Wool Auction
Bought only one fleece! Was joined by Emily and Sonia from work and Micheline from the Bay Area. Also saw Alene that we met at the NoCKRs retreat. Between us we supported a lot of wool growers! I bought a Romeldale, 5.5 lbs. (white)
