Stripes!

 

I’ve been working on my extra credit project, and I’ve gotten to the point where I get to add stripes!  The English Rose stripes will gradually get wider and the Natural stripes will get narrower, until I’m just knitting with the English Rose color.

I’m trying to get this extra credit all finished just as soon as possible so I can check off Loopy Academy as finished, and also so I don’t get side tracked and forget where I am on the project.

Yesterday in Sheri’s blog (Sheri of The Loopy Ewe), she mentioned that she would be announcing Camp Loopy soon.  If I were a betting Lemon, I’d guess Friday, but I don’t know for sure.  I’ve decided not to participate in Camp Loopy this summer because I want to knit from my stash.  I love Camp Loopy, it’s a lot of fun, but with the size of the projects and the time constraints, it’s basically all I work on all summer.  This summer I want to do my own thing, knit from stash (both patterns and yarn) and work on more than one project at a time.  Caleb and I are finishing up school around here this month and I’m looking forward to some time to knit and spin and sew and even do a little crochet.
