This Week
This week looks to be a busy one! I have developed some new colors that will debut this week, and we are doing some "secret" dyeing for our club and another club, so no pictures of any of this! But last week I did some Wild Irises that will be photographed in the next day or so and show up for you to see!
We will also be working on developing colorways for Martina Behm's Pool & Conquer.
Below are two Wild Irises, coming soon: Gypsy Soul, and Sweet and Juicy.
SSK
Last weekend, Jen and Beth drove over to Nashville for SSK - Super Summer Knitogether! It was a great time and they were able to see many folks! This was our fifth year at SSK. Thanks to everyone who came to the retreat!
Stitches Midwest
One of the questions that came up at SSK was about Stitches Midwest. We will not be there this year. I understand many of you are disappointed by this. I made this decision earlier this year when it became clear that a family member was not doing well.
I have been very grateful to have a slower summer without the pressure of show preparation in order to be available to my family and to spend time with them that I would not have had otherwise. This has also allowed a number of friends and family to come visit, so my summer has still been full, but in a different way. I hope you can understand how important this is to me. Thank you for your understanding.
