Retro moth fashion?

Wow. Just…..wow. I have never seen a moth like this before. Nor can I find anything like it when I search Google Images. That pattern is amazing (and I also see that I need to wash my windows). Anyone know what kind of moth this might be?

Travel Fun

I love to travel, and I don’t get nearly enough opportunity to do so. However, I just recently returned from a great trip to Montreal to visit my sister, and during our visit we took a day and drove to Plattsburgh, New York and Burlington, Vermont. Armed with a GPS and my internal “yarn radar” (okay, and a little pre-trip Googling), we found a very nice yarn shop in Essex Junction, Vermont: Kaleidoscope Yarns.

The one thing I wanted to try to get, so that I could avoid having to buy it via mail order, was the previously blogged about KnitKit, and it was my lucky day that day – they had two. It’s a bit bigger than I imagined it was, but every bit as slick and ingenious.

Oh, and of course I bought a little bit of yarn too!

I'm not sure what I'll make yet - maybe mittens with the Plymouth and socks with the Jitterbug. I’ll check out Ravelry and see what cool things other people are making with these yarns. That is one of my favourite features of the Ravelry site.

Later!
