The other night I woke up from a dream of a baby outfit I knit for Princess Zoe.  Princess Zoe is now 20 and has moved away from home so something knit oh so long ago.  I could see the little buttons I put on the cardigan and pullover as well as feel the cushiness of the yarn. No longer owning the outfit or pattern booklet I turned to Ravelry for help finding the pattern name/source.

Not sure if this is one of those I have gotten so old I am nostalgic for ye good ole days or what.  Might be just a longing for the many knits I have given away instead of keeping for myself.  I started searching for old blog posts, via the internet archive for project details.  No small feat since I lost several posts due to switching from wordpress to blogger {or vice versa} and then when I blogged via iWeb.  Those iWeb years get my goat.  I realize the  apple folks gave me plenty of notice that the  platform was going away but I just didn’t realize the posts, which were on the iWeb application, would also disappear.  I mean they assured me I could use iWeb even after they would no longer host a site for me so not sure why the posts had to disappear from the program as well as the world wide web.  Anyway I am slowly but surely looking for old posts and moving them here.

On the needles:  Stonington Shawl by Elizabeth Zimmermann in Jaggerspun heather yarn just like my last one.  Which has been lost over the years.  Ignore that I steadfastly insisted on typing Stonington in those old posts.  Pics forthcoming.  Until then

yarny days and knitterly evenings
