I've added a few handy links to the blog. The first is for my local knitting group Tigo. It was originally named for Tigard and Lake Oswego, which are towns in the western part of the Portland Metro area. At the time I made it I lived in Tigard and worked in Lake Oswego. The group has morphed and changed over time. A couple of my friends have done a great job managing it while my life has been too busy. My crafting buddies are the best. Please check out our next Meetup and see if you have time to join us. I'm hoping I get to attend more frequently after busy season.
The next link is for the local knitting guild. It's the Tigard Knitting Guild. The Portland Guild disbanded several years ago. I'm not officially a member, but I have always had great experiences knitting with the people in this group. If you ever want to meet them outside of a guild meeting. They meet at the Gabriel Park location of the Laughing Planet restaurant (http://laughingplanetcafe.com/locations/) on Wednesdays from about 6:30ish to 8:00ish. They generally fill up the tables in the back of the restaurant.
I also posted links to some great yarn shops where I love to purchase too much yarn!!! On that subject, I ordered some yarn to help me design several patterns for fall over the next few months. Here's a picture of my purchase...
I'm very excited to start putting my ideas to yarn.
Also, here's my progress on my summer design to get people interested in my pattern design. You might notice that I haven't had much time to knit or crochet, but this is a good start :)
Lastly, I was looking at Ravelry and some wonderful patterns for breezy summer tops that I'm so excited about. I've been a long time fan of Norah Gaughan. Her new e-book looks fabulous. Of all the patterns in this book, I've decided Arris is my favorite (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arris-2). Check it out.
