Penny ~ this one's for you.
I was taken by surprise when I read your comment about 'googling this Jared Flood guy'. Ah, grasshopper. No need to google. You just haven't been hanging around with us for very long. You could just type his name into our blog search bar and you'd have hours of us gushing, and knitting his patterns, and gushing, and talking about what we'll knit next, and more gushing....
I think you get my point?
I wrote a love poem to him 2 years ago...
a haiku for jared:
hooked on hemlock rings
left breathless on rock island
juneberry in may
We've had four knitalongs using his patterns and here's a shocker...
In case anyone is wondering, our next knitalong is just around the corner (I'm thinking 'Summer Solstice KAL' 06/21/2013) and guess who we'll be knitting? You only get one guess :)
Stay tuned ~ I'll post more this weekend and also 'fess up about my disappearing act for the May Day KAL. Thanks everyone for keeping the blog so much fun last month while Kelli was test knitting like a madwoman and I was, well...doing nothing near as fun but I'll fill you in later.
Hope everyone is well! ~ Melissa
Y'all have probably already done Juneberry... but, I'm hoping. ;) blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeletewe did, Tanna ~ thus it's mention in the haiku :)
Deletebut you never know ~ it is definitely repeat-knitworthy and seeing as I gave the first one I made to a friend I met on Ravelry....I am definitely in need of one for myself!
I'll keep my fingers crossed... I suspected as much since it was in the haiku. ;) I bought yarn for it while on a trip to Austin recently (the LYS carried the Brooklyn Tweed yarns) and I am so excited about it. Going to be fall-ish though. xoxo ~ t.
ReplyDeleteI've made two Juneberries. I love that pattern. My sister has one on her needles now. I think in a perfect world I would always have a Juneberry on my needles. It is just a joy to knit.
ReplyDeleteThis, exactly!
DeleteBeen looking over Jared Flood's creations. He's amazing. K, now I will pay more attention. Enjoyed your haiku, Mel. Took a stroll down "Juneberry Lane", and wow, it's a masterpiece. Almost missed your's hidden behind the "Mountainberry" name. LOVE the yarn you chose.
ReplyDeleteyou could knit Juneberry, Penny ~ you can knit anything now with all the confidence you gained from the Shetland Triangle!
DeleteI'd be up for Girasole! (Yarn is already bought...)
ReplyDeleteIf Girasole pops up, I'll pretend I havent heard of it but would like to join. Then, on the second day of the KAL, I'd post my progress as being halfway done (because I am...) heheheh....
Deletewe could do that with a repeat Leaves of Grass KAL, too, if you'd like
Deletethan you can post your 1/2 done project from last time :)
snark snark (how is that knit coming, by the way?)
and BOY did I just leave myself wide open for comments on the fact that nobody's seen a stitch from me on the last kal....
Deletebring it on, I deserve it :)
Hey! I could join in that LOG KAL too! You would all be blown away that I could knit as fast as Lori and Kelli ;)
