To me there are few things better than a fiber-y festival at a colonial era property in New England. It combines some of my favorite things. So, a little bit about Gore Place, which is still farmed today.

Gore Place Sheepshearing Festival 2013, 4
Lunch from the Polish truck. We waited so long in line that I couldn't take the time to snap a picture of our plate: pierogi, kielbasa, and stuffed cabbage with sour cream and onions. Worth the wait!

Gore Place Sheep Shearing recap
I'm finishing up two projects for publication today, so thought I'd share some pictures from the Gore Place Sheep Shearing Festival to keep you distracted...
Actually, I'm trying the blog from Flickr thing, so there will be a few posts coming. Enjoy!

Video Tuesday: Sotherton
E.T.A. Sotherton is currently on sale for 30% off at Interweave's site, along with An Aran for Anne, An Aran for Frederick, and Bixby.
It's been a little emotional over here of late, and I haven't felt like posting. Plus, I'm working hard on two deadline projects. But today may be the last chilly day in New York, so I'm celebrating by wearing (and talking about) Sotherton in my latest video, which I have also uploaded to YouTube - we'll see if I can make this work.
I misspoke there about using tosh dk - the sample I'm wearing was worked in tosh vintage.
If you follow the link in the first paragraph, you will be able to browse all the Sothertons on Ravelry. It is a sweater that flatters many figures. If you haven't made one yet, why not? :) That link will also link you to the Interweave store where you can get your own copy of the pattern.
Out of curiosity, would people be interested in my self-publishing the pattern (and any other Jane Austen Knits patterns)? It would mean the patterns would be available from Ravelry/Etsy/Craftsy. I know some knitters like to keep all their patterns together in their Ravelry libraries. Comment or drop me an email at kathleendames at gmail dot com. Since this would take some extra work on my part, I only want to do it if it would be of some worth to people.
Thanks for watching/reading, and happy knitting!
P.S. My friend Mike thinks that I should start calling my knitting video blogs "klogs". Am I a klogger? ;)
