TKGA Guild Night: Entrelac!

What a High!
I was at the shop yesterday, teaching all day amidst a huge sale, and in walks one of our regular customers wearing my design! She walked up to me, tapped me excitedly and said, "I just wanted you to see this!" She had the Curly Fries Vest pattern on & it looked cute as a button! She said it was simple to make & the pattern was easy to follow. Other than, '"Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" and "Have you lost weight?" these were the best words my little knittin' heart could hear! I'm a designer....wooooohooooo!

Published!
My Sideways Curly Fries Vest has been published online, yay! OK, so in the spirit of full disclosure, I am the Managing Editor, but it was the Editor-in-Chief's decision....woohoo! The display has been a huge hit at the shop. So much so, in fact, my boss has asked me to make another one with different yarns for summer!

And Onward...
Okay...looking for my next project fix. So, I cast on for Coronet today for Mom's birthday next week. She's hinted (well, hint is mild...) about having one to match the scarf I made her last year. The scarf was made with Fiesta Razzle (in Adirondack: eggplant, creme & blue), so the hat is Blue Sky Alpaca sportweight (double-stranded) in eggplant.
Jason is still waiting for his Gold-Medal Award-Winning scarf in the mail. Just what he needs for notoriously blustery San Diego, CA. Will post a pic as soon as his girls take one of Dad wrapped in its Olympian warmth!
