All things southern and more

I have been looking for things to knit that are southern in nature. I am hoping to be able to dress in period clothing for Civil War Reenactments and events and have been looking for shawl, cap etc patterns. I joined a group on Yahoo and found more resources... As soon as I have something nice made I will post my efforts..

One of the patters I really liked was put out by Goodey's Lady's book and is of a cap. I plan to do it first.. and probably will make a dress around it.

So since I was thinking South.. I decided to see where my linguistics was at... well here is the tail......

Your Linguistic Profile:

35% Dixie 35% General American English 10% Upper Midwestern 5% Midwestern 5% Yankee

This rather fits me well.

This is my first spool of variegated yarn in Orange, Green, Brown etc.. from My Kromski wheel.

About a month ago I did a spinning exhibition at work and was featured in our newsletter spinning... I am beginning to be much more confident in sharing my spinning knowledge now.

As to knitting.. well...............I have finished some Maxim by Filatura Di Crosa that I picked up at Yarn Theory http://www.yarntheory.com/ Jan is the bomb and always has a nice selection. If you are in Bedford, Virginia you need to look her up.

I plan to post pictures of these socks soon.. but I have the toes and running in treads to go. I may try to finish tonite though as tomorrow is supposed to be so very cool again. It is hard to believe it is spring from today's weather.. but I have seen....

All this and more is in our yard these days.... I do like spring.
