Between the 2 upcoming designs that will be published in September and the 1 upcoming design in Twist Collective... I have my hands full, but not much to show for it. Very soon indeed you'll be able to see what my hands have been busy making.
I think, though, that after this final sample is knitted, I will focus on fonts and self-publishing for the rest of the year. Phew. Knitting for publication can be exhausting!
Sneak Peek photos to follow...

I won a giveaway!
Hard to believe it, but I actually won one of those great Friday giveaways from Juniper Moon Farm's Blog. Super exciting times I tell you.
I won a Dipped Infinity Scarf Kit (design by Laura Chau) sponsored by Dirty Water Dyeworks! Yay! The kit included a bunch of mini-skeins of Julia, a really squishy and easy-to-knit blend of Superwash Merino and Tencel. I'm knitting this project as my "in-between" project. I've got a few designs due by the end of the month and my fingers are workin' workin'.
Look out for the upcoming Twist Collective Issue... tee hee.
The pretty yarn:

Montreal - Mouliné and More
Just to fill in the last gap of my yarn-travels...
After visiting the Southwest, we headed Northeast over to Montreal. It was still warm, though, just a lot more humid. There, I was able to visit Mouliné, a really lovely yarn shop near a string of cute cafes and across the street from an antique shop with a great collection of vintage magazines!
This shop was tended by a very knowledgeable shop owner who noted yarns that were discontinued and/or unavailable for re-stocking when I mentioned that I was looking for yarn for an upcoming design. Here are a couple of shop photos:

I realized that Montreal had a lot of fiber-arts going on when the listing on Ravelry for local yarn shops was filled with over 15 entries. Yep, evidence in yarn-bombing is a pretty good indicator.
But the ultimate sign that Montreal was A-okay with knitting was this...

That's right: beer. When there's a beer with a knitting-theme you can sigh a breathe of relief. You are welcome here.
