Froggie Meanie

-
We have quite the knitting community here in Milton.

Yesterday, Renee of Froggie Meanie and I met up at Carolyn's shop, Main St. Yarns. We had a few things to catch up on.

Some of it is a secret ...... shhhhhhh, we can't tell.

But, I can tell you that Renee's Lizard Ridge Afghan is to die for!
What a spectacular way to use Noro yarn.........she's on the home stretch now and doesn't it look great?

While I had Renee there, I got her to try on my Inverness Cape (pattern from Simply Shetland 4 done in Jamieson's Shetland Heather). This is a projet that was knit up for the Kitchener-Waterloo Fair......and being in a mad rush, it was made a little shorter than I'd of liked (for me being 5'10") -- so, I asked Renee to model it for you.

Doesn't she look great in it? So great, I gifted it to her.....why let it languish in my pile of unworn knits. Renee looked great in it, and I knew that she would give it a good home in her knit-friendly house. Thanks Renee!

    Thank you again! I love it, I love it, I love it. I was sort of ready for fall (scary, I know) but now I'm really ready. I'll have to get some photos of myself in it outside with all the fall colours.

    The cape is beautiful! What a wonderful gift. :) And the afghan is looking just gorgeous. Possibly one of the most beautiful Noro uses I've seen yet.

    Hi, Anne:

    I have been trying to reach you via e-mail at She Ewe Knits as I would like to purchase some yarn. I am wanting the Natural Aran yarn, 12 skeins, in the natural white/ecru color. Do you have this yarn available? If so, what would be the price, including shipping, etc., to Utah, USA? I really want this to knit my son a sweater he has requested.

    My e-mail is: kthomas@sfcn.org.

    Thank you!

    Kristy
