(I usually try to not double up on designers...But these are both such perfect summer knits!)

Wedding Wednesday: 1/15 Colours of Cranes
That's right! We have finished one colour of cranes, which means that we're about 67 cranes closer to 1,000 (plus whatever other ones we make for decoration).
Wish us luck!

We Were On an Adventure!
WiP: Dallas's cardigan
FOs: None
That's right! We drove out to Marble Canyon in Kootenay National Park, and then went down and explored Banff's Cave & Basin, the birthplace to the Canadian National Park System!
We also visited Jacques Cartier Clothiers, which is the shop that carries Quiviut. I have 1 skein at home, and I needed a pattern, so I found it's destiny in a Wavy Lace Scarf. I'll keep you updated as I go on that.
Otherwise...Dallas's cardigan went into a time out yesterday, although it rode along with us. I messed up the shaping for the fronts, since I followed the directions to a T...And had to pick out all the shaping from the arm hole up on both fronts (I'm knitting them two-at-a-time so that they match). So I lost all of my work from Saturday morning. I was soooo peeved.
But, I got it more or less back to the same spot on Saturday (at least I used up the same amount of yarn, so that's a good sign), and now I'm ready to finish the fronts and move onto the sleeves. I hope.
Other than that, a quiet weekend. I think we're going to go Star Trek tonight, which I'm super excited for.
And I'll actually have a crane update tomorrow!
So, the knitting agenda as it stands now:
Dallas's cardigan
Cast-on shawl
Cast on Hanna Fettig's Calligraphy Cardigan
Cast on SSP
Cast on a pair of mittens to felt
Put cuffs on other mittens to felt
Make more felted bags for Etsy update in August.
...
There's a lot of work to do, and very little time, so I will leave you here!
Have a lovely evening, my dears!

Not much of a rhyme or reason for today's pics, just what caught my attention as I was cruisin' through the queue to see how I might be able to enhance yours!

Catch-Up Thursday
WiP: Dallas's Cardigan
FOs: None
So, the past weekend was the long weekend. We were super busy, being out in Cochrane all four days of the weekend.
However, we got to drive out to Canmore for Knit & Caboodle, and then went to the second-hand bookstore as well, where I picked up Marion Zimmer Bradley's Forest House, a prequel to The Mists of Avalon.
I got the back finished on Dallas's cardigan; now it's the fronts, sleeves, and collar. I have less than a month to finish it now! But I think it'll all be good.
Also, it's less than fourteen months to the wedding! Couple more months and I can start pinning down the detailed parts of everything.
And once I've finished Dallas's cardigan, on to the shawl! And some more SSPs (super-secret projects).
Tuesday night we went to see "Iron Man 3", which was amazing! I loved it. I'm really glad that they didn't ignore "The Avengers," which was completely possible. I'm also super stoked to see "Thor: The Dark World" this fall!!
Next on the list, which I think will be good as well is "Star Trek: Into Darkness." And then I think the next after that will be "The Lone Ranger" with Johnny Depp.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this weekend that the weather will be good for the Lilac Festival on Sunday, and maybe for a hike on Saturday.
Either sun, or absolutely pouring rain so that I don't feel bad staying inside and knitting or sewing.
What're your plans for the weekend?
