The dryer sock elves have found my mitten and hat bin. I was gathering mittens today for a trunk show this weekend (more on that below), only to find I have ONE of each mitten or glove in my collection. One. WTF??? See, two the lonely mittens below.
And NO Sidecars. Which is baffling, since I had them in there just a few weeks ago. All my hats and scarves and cowls are still there. But the mittens, they be missing. I shall have no pie.
I'm wondering if a child related to me thinks this is amusing and has hidden them. Or maybe it's time to look under the seats in the car and check all the recyclable bags to see if I shoved them in there at the supermarket.... I know they aren't lying anywhere in the house, because the whole damn joint has been cleaned, painted, spackled, sanded and generally gone through, in preparation for house selling. Bad news.
The good news is that we're almost done on the house buying end. Our P&S is about to be signed in a few hours. I know Phase Two of the New House is just about to begin, and there will be a crapton more of shit to do, but I'll have a week or two lull ahead, where I can either knit new mittens or work on the next couple of designs before that hits. In the meantime, I'll need to keep things clean and clear out. Which leaves knitting time. I am soooo leaning towards the new designs. Secret yarn should be in the mail, and Plucky is in the works.
On that note, see below - Moody Broody #2, Naragansett. I'm about to do the math and get a test pattern out the door by next week. Here's a hinty shot in the meantime.

For those of you in the Boston area, the actual Naragansett sweater in the photo might be joining me in Salem on Saturday. I've been asked to participate in the North Shore Yarn Crawl this year, and will be at Seed Stitch Fine Yarns in Salem, MA from about 3:30-5 on Saturday afternoon (3/12). I'll have all my sweater and accessory samples with me (minus the missing mittens, if they don't turn up....), and maybe some cocktail fixings if Courtney says OK. Must remember to ask Courtney about bringing booze.......
Seed Stitch is a really charming shop, right in downtown Salem, by the Peabody Essex Museum and the main walking street. I've been there before and am excited to go back and visit as part of the afternoon's entertainment. I'd love to meet some of you in person, so do come by if you have some free time and are nearby on Saturday afternoon.
In the meantime, happy knitting, and if I disappear blogwise, know it's only because I'm kicked out of my house while prospective buyers go through my drawers. Trust that I'm knitting away at the local coffeeshop.
