I came upon the most delightful sight this morning - a knittag to keep my previously posted rail sock company (the photo is very poor quality due to bad weather, but you get the idea):

A truly wonderful surprise on a very gloomy morning. I emailed the most likely suspects and they both profess to be innocent of the tagging so the author remains a mystery.
I have been knitting even tho I haven't been writing about it and there were purchases on the recent trip. Portland is home to several yarn shops - I managed to make it to
KnitPurl where they don't use bags for purchases:

And I found some sock yarns that I don't normally see/get at my usual hangouts here in the Twin Cities.
Girl-child chose this one:

And I plan to make a
Cookie A pattern with this for myself:

This was discovered at
Gossamer near the
Velveteria museum:

In the meantime I am knitting a few things. One is a project that is not exactly secret but can not be revealed yet.
Another is a pair of replacement
Fetching mitts for Girl-child:

A scarf being done on commission:

The pattern is more visible above, the color more realistic below.

And I started a pair of socks for Nicole because we love Nicole:
