As you may know by now, Skype announcements are also fiber-related posts. I bought yarn today and here's what I'm gonna make with it.

Alice Starmore's Catherine Parr sweater from Tudor Roses (a knitting book so very out of print). I'll be knitting it in a purple-toned gray with berry accents, slightly finer guage than called for, and of course, knit in the round, because that is the only way I would ever approach a sweater like this. Period.



Original finished sweater (yeah I'm a bit jealous) from WIPinsanity. And remember, you are not cheating on your "finish the UFO's" goal if you merely swatch something new. :)

And I'm going to call this one my "Obama Sweater" because it will probably take me his entire first term to finish it.

It's nice to use the bottom of these skype posts to write about fiber stuff. I thought about doing something with last week's inspiration, and wound up actually going on an Artists' Date to the fabric store, where I picked up a 99 cent fat quarter:



Clearly those browns, reds, and blues are in my head for something.

If you've made a New Year's Resolution to Skype more, here's your chance. (ha!)

I've made a resolution to get back to myself as a knitter/seamstress this year. Saw this silk coverlet (yeah my kid laden house is so not the silk coverlet locale) and I'm gonna do something with it as inspiration. Not sure what yet. (You fiberlicious types can click the image for larger.)



Also, I'm going to use these skype linky posts to post some kind of fiber inspiration or project each week, to keep me going.

Skype Salon is just typing, not singing or talking or anything that requires use of a headset. All you need is a keyboard and high speed internet.

Hope to see you there 9 Eastern for about an hour.

Democratic National Convention Chat



We'll see how this goes. If people want to chat during and after the convention coverage I'm happy to organize that. If we've got just a few folks we'll just do it tonight only.

This is chat only no phone or extra equipment needed. And it's free.

Newcomers are very welcome. Download Skype here.
