And We Are Off

 Did some research before the trip

Started a new journal just for the trip

Have my knitting project for the plane all ready, including bamboo needles, just in case.

And now the fun begins.  I hope to blog while I am gone, but so far, the blog doesn't like my photos from my phone, so we shall see.  See you in a couple of weeks!

Episode 147

 Its Knits for Norway, Episode 147 and you can watch it by clicking here

And Now It's Friday!

 Finally Finished Friday.  And this little pretty has been done for quite some time, not sure why I am just posting it now.

It's Musselburgh # 10

From Gauge Dye works Birth Flowers Collection, Trifecta Fingering

The color way is November Chrysanthemum, One Way Trip

This was my first time using this yarn, and won't be the last!  These big self striping stripes are so much fun to watch grow throughout the hat!

It's Not Friday

But, I've got a finish to share with you.  

Just in time for Norway, the Hello Friend Vest by Leslie Friend is finished and almost ready to go with me.  I just want to do a bit of steaming on both sides of it where I increased for the hips.

I knit it out of the recommended yarn, Onling #1, a new to me yarn that I ordered last Summer before any tariffs were in place.  I do like, on an occasion, to actually knit a design out of the yarn the designer used and after knitting the vest partially out of a yarn from PYS, and not being super happy with it, I decided to order the yarn from Onling.

I didn't realize what some of the yarn content was until I was well into the knitting of it. Merino Wool and Angora.  I have never ever used Angora, and this won't be the last time I buy some Onling yarn in the future, hopefully, when those nasty tariffs are gone.

I chose the navy as it is part of my color wardrobe for the cruise, that I am trying really hard to do a sort of staple wardrobe to pack.  Navy and blue jeans...

And as a side note, yesterday's post of mittens, were the leftovers of my vest yarn, so won't they be scrumptious to wear in Norway and this Winter?!!

How Can It Be So Close!

9 days til Norway begins.  And I've been doing some knitting and some planning and thinking.  I am hoping to share a bit of what I have been doing here in the next few days.

Point Edward Mitts to go with my Musslburgh and Coomo Cowl.  This pattern is genious!

Mittens using the Tin Can Knits App out of the leftovers from my vest yarn, Onling.  This yarn is so scrumptious and I am going to get a lot of use out of them on our trip.

And now that those are done, I can concentrate on some fun knitting for Winter.  Stay tuned.
 

Episode 146 is up

 I've got a couple of finished objects to tell you about!!  Watch it by clicking here

It’s Friday!!!

 Off to do a little knitting with friends, how about you?

I'm Not Ignoring The Blog

 It is just that it has been super busy here at chez PJKnits and will continue with Norway trip prep etc, but I'll be posting regularly anyway.  Very soon.

But until then, this is how I spent this past weekend.
