OMG it was a freaking busy week at work this week. Busy is good until it reaches insane-busy..which is what it was on Monday and Tuesday...it was only ridiculously busy on Wednesday and we actually had short periods of time yesterday where we could think between each problem. I was actually able to read and respond to email today. So again I say TGIF!
Progress on the Alpaca-Merino blend tee shirt is consistent and I'm hoping to be done with it in a week or 2 at the most...will post pictures when its completed. That's all I have on the needles right now...next thing is to cast on for Travelers Stocking #2 (Nancy Bush - Knitting on the Road). I would also like to start a cotton tank top in chartreuse or orangey coral....
I'm going to St Peter on Sunday with a friend to Mary Lue's Yarn shop...or are we going to Mankato? Has she moved yet? Its moving I hear... I don't know when moving day is but we are going this weekend so I assume it hasn't moved quite yet...the website would have something posted, wouldn't ya think?
I also saw this really cute knitted tee on magknits.com and what caught my attention is that it has shaping through the mid-section so that it lends some shape to your shape! I've been looking for patterns like this and it just sorta jumped out at me and said - Try this! The designer knitted it with Rowan Calmer. Anyone out there knit with this cotton/acrylic blend? What's it like?

Hi Nancy,
I used Rowan Calmer to make the multi-colored striped sweater for my daughter that I was working on when we first met. The one I abandoned when my daughter outgrew the pattern I was working from. :-)
I loved the yarn. Very soft, with some give.
