On Top of Wolf Mountain
My wonderful Josef took me for a romantic getaway to Dahlonega, Georgia, for my birthday. Up on top of the mountain there just happened to be a winery called Wolf Mountain. They also had a cafe where we had a light lunch. The weekend was filled with nature walks, massages, facials, and great food. A birthday I will never forget.
On the Sticks
I got lots of knitting done in the car on the drive up. In the car, I finished the second purse that was in progress. The first one didn't meet my expectations after I felted it. I thought using Rowan yarn and a Rowan pattern with the suggested needles I wouldn't have such a discrepency, but there was. So, I did what I was supposed to do. I created a swatch and adjusted the pattern.
First Purse
Second Purse Before Felting
I'll post pictures of the finished purse after it's felted. Wish me luck!
I have also started a super hero cape for my son Mikael. Here is a picture from the book "New Knits on the Block" by Vickie Howell
Hopefully, I will get it finished by Halloween. It's going pretty fast.
Here's Mikael being a super hero without the cape.
I am always on the lookout for vintage knitting items, needles, patterns, notions, and whatever I can find. I found this gem during the summer on our way to Florida for Lulu's Birthday. It was $24.99 and in great condition.

Write and share some of your great vintage knitting finds.
Dee was gracious enough to watch Mikael for weekend so Papa and Daddy could get away. After awhile I was knitting on the deck, Josef was reading this great book about Julia Child in France, and Dee, a straight girl from the Tobacco Fields of South Carolina, was doing auto body work on her truck. Indeed this is the Glamorous Life
Next Posting will be about Mikael's and my trip to the SAFF fair in Asheville, NC. Checkout the website at saffsite.org I am all about a place that has free childcare while daddy gets to knit.
Happy Halloween!
