[...] finish my Derecho. This is the second one I have done. I did the first one in the smaller size (see it here), and chose to do this one in the larger size. The small size stops before the last two long strips [...]

I made a shawl for Camp Loopy 3. And while I was “at camp” reading the posts, I found at least 6 other shawls and a couple of cardigans I want to make. I live in South Texas and don’t NEED many shawls or cardigans but I’m enjoying making them and putting more.on my “to do” list.

Hi Sheri! I loved being at Camp Loopy again this year! It was such a joy to keep up with my new friends I made at camp through the Ravelry threads! I didn’t know about them last year! I fell in love with the Pamuya Shawl and the Elix Shawl just fascinated me! I don’t know when I will make time to indulge the urges to knit these, between Nanna Knitting and such, but I see them becoming a part of my future, and hopefully soon! I saw lots of Color Affections, and am trying to figure out if I will commit to one of them… Camp Loopy was an absolute blast and I can’t wait for next year! Thanks for making Camp Loopy happen!!! And I hope you and the Loopy Elves all had a very happy Labor Day!

Hi Sheri…..Hope everything is okay…..It is after 9pm and there is no Monday blog or update. Did I miss you saying that there was not going to be one tonight because of Labor Day. Thankyou so much.

My list is always full, but the latest projects have come from Amirisu, a bilingual online knitting magazine like Twist Collective. I need a DK weight for the patterns I’m most interested in, so I will have to pick something from the shop to try them out!

I thought that part of Camp Loopy was to fill our “Favorites ” list. Now to find some way to knit past life expectancy! !!!

Have you seen Derecho done in neutrals? There is a photo of one on the Ravelry pattern page. A neutral palette would even eliminate the one dark stripe in the small size.

I purchased Spud & Chloe Fine in Popcorn, Clementine and Orangutan to make the small version for Camp Loopy Project 3, but was so slow with Project 2 that I postponed the Derecho. Actually, I spent the time trying to figure out how to remedy the “one dark stripe” problem (without success). After seeing the one done in neutrals, I decided that would be my solution (for a small one) and last evening I ordered more Spud & Chloe Fine so that I can make a large one in those three colours. Don’t you think that’s a great solution to the “one dark stripe” problem? Buy more yarn!
