Shop Day

Today is a "work"'day for me.  Somehow my days at home are more exhausting than my days at the shop.  House work is more fun when I have my little buddy around but it is still work!  

Instead of leaving the house at 7:30 i had some extra snooze time, tea in bed ( thanks honey!) and some knitting while watching Good morning America.  

I made a quick dash into my studio for some yarn to wind before I dashed out the door.  I arrived to find an eager knitter waiting patiently for me.   Knitters are such NICE people!!!  Our dear Elizabeth is off to Philly to babysit her sisters three little darlings.  The parents finally received their phone call to pick up their new son in Ethiopia.  

No surprise to me Elizabeth forgot she was teaching a Learn To Knit Class this morning.  I dove right in.  In no time Clara was knitting and purling and starting a lace hat.  Lest you think I am An Amazing Knitting Instructor, i must say Clara knit many years ago and mostly forgot how to cast on.  She quickly started knitting and purling quite easily.  We had a lovely morning, knitting, chatting sipping tea.  We both have 26 year old daughters, shop for and prepare healthy organic produce and may already have an addiction to knitting cute things for babies.  

I had several customers about noon so didn't eat lunch until 1:45.  Thin sliced zucchini and squash, carrots and sugar snap peas topped with a dressing of coconut milk and peanut butter.  Yum!!  Recipe calls for bell peppers and spices in the dressing that I cant eat.  Recipe from my 30 Day Vegan Class.  

Time for some knitting!  

Started this last week.  Tea Leaves Cardigan using ToshDK in Wilted Rose colorway ( burgandy and green). Love it, but getting bored.

 Found this forgotten WIP.  Simplicity Cardigan by Mary Annarella using Tosh Sock in colorway Steam Age (gray with bits of mauve/purple and turquoise).  

Missing my little buddy.  This was yesterday.  He is ready to drive.  Road Trip Time???
