About this episode
In this episode: Undone by Cosmo/Cosmo undone; colour blocking that didn’t stitck; a summer romance; a bounty of beautiful sock yarn; packing projects for a journey with no end date; and the view from the Stone Cottage! The sweater that was [Cosmo]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan ) is no longer pining for the fjords. We are both happier for it. The colour blocking that I thought might be the answer to knitting a longer Schneke did not work for me. Might have been the yarn. I’m still swooning over the spiral lace pattern. Full marks for [Schneke]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/schnecke-3 ). If you need a yarn just like the discontinued yarn you're running out of, [Yarnsub]( https://yarnsub.com/ ) is your friend. My affaire de couer with shortie socks includes: [Pan]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pan-8 ) (which looks better on the foot than off). [Weekend Shorty Socks]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/weekend-shorty-socks ). I had a blast choosing the colours of these and took many, many, many pics. Next in the queue, [Zabava]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/zabava-2 ), on sale through 31 October. I also plan to try out some new heel constructions this winter, starting with [Biarritz]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-biarritz-socks ). It's also on sale through 31 October. It's finally sweater season! Up first, the sweater of my long time dreams, [Esther]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/esther-18 ), soon to be followed by [Boreal]( https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/boreal-2 ). If I can complete these two AND finish the Red Edge, it'll be a very good winter.
