On The Dance Card:
Wendy is working on:
Seashell Shawl by Ivy Brambles Yarn in Blue Moon Fiber Arts Silk Thread II. I am on the 8th of 9 body chart repeats! I have also posted my corrections to the chart on Rav for those who may want to knit the shawl.
Fantastic by Suzy Vitale ($5 on Rav) in hand spun Dyeabolical Yarns Portuguese Merino in "Flower Shop Inferno". This will become my Rhinebeck sweater with a few mods for gauge and sizing adjustments.
Special Guest Lois is working on Missoni Inspired Chevron Blanket by Kelly Kingston (about $4 on Rav) in Knit Picks Wool of the Andes.
Rate Your Date:
Lois finished a Ruby Slippers Shawlette by Wendy Weber Deeds ($5 on Rav) in Dream in Color Smooshy, Petal Showers color way.

Future Dates:
Wendy plans on knitting:

Baubles & Bling:
Wendy received a Maine blueberry themed bag from Lois and a pillow with the motto "If I'm Sitting, I'm Knitting"
Wendy purchased:
Schacht Zoom Loom from Spunky Eclectic and wove a bunch of squares for a scarf and a blanket! After experimentation, the fingering weight doubled is the nicest feel for squares.
