fog









murky conditions call for bundling up on walks, making soup and knitting! while working away on a new shawl, the elizabeth zimmerman circular pi shawl (beaverslide wool, in woodsmoke heather colorway, a beautiful color in it's foggy greyness)  i received my first big order, and it called for color.


 here's what arrived last night, and will be knitted into thirty six new 'green sleeves'



 for this shop


 this is an example of what i'll be making, reusable cup sleeves


 times three



 we definitely have our (foggy) day cut out for us, right owen? (he is apparently all over the pelican trauma! and little nebby is doing quite well also.)

    AAAAWWWWWW!

    am i the first to comment? if so, everyone else will no doubt in one way or another say this:

    YOU ROCK!

    that 36 greensleeve order is so fantastic and not the least bit surprising.

    you and the fog sure know how to stretch out and curl in and relax, lori. if i saw that hat in a store, i would put it to my face and close my eyes :^)

    and i-survived-a-pelican-attack owen: too cute.

    this looks to be one fine weekend, lori sf. i'm super duper glad

    The work on the needles is beautiful~~my knitting is put away for the summer; guess it will come out when it cools here.
    Beautiful photos~~fog is so relaxing to look at and magical to photograph.

    Way to go with your first order, the colors are lovely. How I love foggy days-when they can be cozy and warm. Little Owen reminds me of my Penny, they make good little warmers. Have a nice day.

    Only you can make me miss fog ;)

    I love the shawl so far. It's quite lacy and delicate, and I think it should be called "Foggy Shawl."

    That's a HUGE order for the most perfect store!! I'm so happy for you (and for the lucky customers.)

    I'm so glad both Owen and nebby are doing well. yay all around!

    xoxo
    Lo♥

    Just want to hug him.

    have a wonderful day!

    So great that your green sleeves are taking off. They are truly awesome! The weather is all over the map, all over the world. One day we have 7 degrees Celsius and the next day - it will only be 12. In between we will have high winds and thunderstorms. Your photos of the fog are eerily beautiful. Happy knitting.

    I like your rendition of fog, that beautiful yarn color along with your fine work is scrumptious.

    Congratulations on your big green sleeves order what a perfect idea for commuter coffee drinkers!

    So glad Owen is over his pelican encounter, he looks like a ball of yarn himself.

    Have a great week! xoxo
