It's official.....we're moving to Great Falls, Montana. As soon as we get the actual hard copy orders we'll be able to request our early reporting. Right now it has us leaving in October....don't think so not if I can help it! We are going to ask for the beginning of August. It feels great to finally know where we are going. :~)
Now on to my goodies received in the mail. I bought a few small things this payday. I still have a row counter bracelet that I bought from an etsy seller out in the mail. I'm addicted to etsy like some people are addicted to ebay.....sept I don't have to fight to get what I want. I just load it in the chart and go check out. I'll post a pic and link to the seller when it comes in. :~)
First up, small needle stitch markers from ZeroMarkers. They also threw in some extra stitch markers (the 2 markers on the right hand side).
Next up, handmade soap from Brown Bag Soap. Brown Bag Soap is ran by Chicken Knits. Go check out her shop. I got the Honey and Beeswax, it smells yummy. :~) Lookie, I finally found a good use for those tiny plates that came with the espresso cups.....lol!
And finally, Icaras. OK, I'll admit that this is not my next big project but I saw that Sheri had the patterns in and just had to get it. It's in the queue for after Ethereal Fichu.
My next project is going to be the Ethereal Fichu Shoulder Wrap by Heartstrings. Remember that skein of Schaefer Anne I bought awhile back....the pretty blue green.....there's a pic in my Flickr album. Well the Anne has decided she wants to be the Ethereal Fichu. I've already talked to the designer of the shawl (Jackie E-S of Heartstrings) and she said that due to the way the shawl is designed it will be easy to adjust if I start running out of yarn...which could or could not be an issue due to the fact that Anne only has 560 yds and is fingering weight and the pattern calls for 600 yds of lace weight. Jackie was wonderful to deal with. She answered my email quickly and was super helpful.
I'm not sure when I'll start the Ethereal Fichu but it won't be until after I make Kaity her sundress and finish up my Loopy Ewe Q2 Challenge knitting.
