I’ve been writing about the beautiful sunsets, lobster fisherman, meals prepared.  Now it’s time to get down to knitting.  I’ve been busy since we arrived on the island but without electricity, there are only a few things to do at night.

I had the itch to make some baby clothes and made Mexicali, which Liz plans to give to a friend, and a february type baby sweater from handspun alpaca for a former work colleague.

Now I am working on a trio of children’s sweaters for my friend Anne, who has a trio of beautiful daughters.  The first is an aran sweater designed by me in a yarn i bought for myself but then decided I would never wear.  The second is picture knitting in a pullover.  i used the castle pattern from Barbara Walker’s second treasure and wool bam boo yarn, which I really liked.  The third, which is still just an idea in my head, will be a top down raglan with a slip stitch pattern from Barbara Walker.

So one left before Labor Day. Then I have to start working on a quilt for Chelsea’s new apartment.
