Things have been busy around the Social Knitworking parts, so much so that we haven’t posted in almost a year! It seems fitting that I’m blogging about the upcoming Rhinebeck road trip when our last video was shot at the 2010 New York Sheep and Wool Festival.

Each year, our knitting group picks a “house color”, a lovely hue that we will keep in mind when choosing a yarn to knit a project that will be premiered at Rhinebeck. Last year’s color was blue, which we each took some liberties with.

Here’s my project from last year’s Rhinebeck, worn again just last week:

Much better! You can read more about my work-through of this on my Ravelry project page.

This year, our color is orange, and I’ve got a very wonderful Malabrigo worsted in “Sunset” that I bought out of my friend K’s stash. Cadence is my project this time around, and after a few false starts on the sleeves, I’m finishing up the body this week! So far, gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. I will post all about it when I’m done, and I’m sure we’ll have some nice photos of our adventures next week.
