194 What I did last summer

In this episode: Undone by Cosmo/Cosmo undone; colour blocking that didn’t stitck; a summer romance; a bounty of beautiful sock yarn; packing projects for a journey with no end date; and the view from the Stone Cottage!
The sweater that was [Cosmo](ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan) is no longer pining for the fjords. We are both happier for it.
The colour blocking that I thought might be the answer to knitting a longer Schneke did not work for me. Might have been the yarn. I’m still swooning over the spiral lace pattern. Full marks for [Schneke](ravelry.com/patterns/library/schnecke-3 (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)).
If you need a yarn just like the discontinued yarn you're running out of, [Yarnsub](yarnsub.com (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)) is your friend.
My affaire de couer with shortie socks includes:
[Pan](ravelry.com/patterns/library/pan-8 (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)) (which looks better on the foot than off).
[Weekend Shorty Socks](ravelry.com/patterns/library/weekend-shorty-so… (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)). I had a blast choosing the colours of these and took many, many, many pics.
Next in the queue, [Zabava](ravelry.com/patterns/library/zabava-2 (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)), on sale through 31 October. I also plan to try out some new heel constructions this winter, starting with [Biarritz](ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-biarritz-so… (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)). It's also on sale through 31 October.
It's finally sweater season! Up first, the sweater of my long time dreams, [Esther](ravelry.com/patterns/library/esther-18 (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)), soon to be followed by [Boreal](ravelry.com/patterns/library/boreal-2 (ravelry.com/patterns/library/cosmo-cardigan)). If I can complete these two AND finish the Red Edge, it'll be a very good winter.
