I have been busy

preparing for the Vogue Knitting Live show,

and blogging has not been on my mind.

I have had to remake some of my samples

because somehow some of them 

had ended up in the "gift pile".

Maybe my "Helene II" pattern (above)

is one of my favorites,

it also one of the oldest.

The booth has to be dressed up,

and arriving by airplane,

my options for decorating are limited.

Some of these pictures will be posters,

and they will all hopefully fit in my suitcase.

Between planning and preparing

I have been working on another shawl pattern.

It is not ready yet,

but I hope to have it all put together 

within a month or two.

The one above was a present to a friend,

and the yarn was a lace weight yarn, 

bought in Santa Fe a while ago.

Maybe I could have the store ship me some more....

 I just loved this smoky blue color.

The pattern will be named Virginia.

 Follow-up will come in not too long..
