The other night I woke up from a dream of a baby outfit I knit for Princess Zoe. Princess Zoe is now 20 and has moved away from home so something knit oh so long ago. I could see the little buttons I put on the cardigan and pullover as well as feel the cushiness of the yarn. No longer owning the outfit or pattern booklet I turned to Ravelry for help finding the pattern name/source.
Not sure if this is one of those I have gotten so old I am nostalgic for ye good ole days or what. Might be just a longing for the many knits I have given away instead of keeping for myself. I started searching for old blog posts, via the internet archive for project details. No small feat since I lost several posts due to switching from wordpress to blogger {or vice versa} and then when I blogged via iWeb. Those iWeb years get my goat. I realize the apple folks gave me plenty of notice that the platform was going away but I just didn’t realize the posts, which were on the iWeb application, would also disappear. I mean they assured me I could use iWeb even after they would no longer host a site for me so not sure why the posts had to disappear from the program as well as the world wide web. Anyway I am slowly but surely looking for old posts and moving them here.
On the needles: Stonington Shawl by Elizabeth Zimmermann in Jaggerspun heather yarn just like my last one. Which has been lost over the years. Ignore that I steadfastly insisted on typing Stonington in those old posts. Pics forthcoming. Until then
yarny days and knitterly evenings
