What’s on the Needles

Last August I did the one yearly yarn show that I still do these days. It’s called “Fiber Revival” and it’s held in Newbury, Massachusetts. In addition to the yarn sales, there is an old time baseball game, a beer truck and the beautiful fields of the Spence-Peirce-Little Farm. The weather is usually amazing and it’s a fun time to meet with old friends!

When I was dyeing up all of the yarn to bring with me, I tried a few new colors together…”playing in the depot”. It’s always a surprise because the colors do not always come out as I envisioned they would but a lot of times I end up loving them. This was the case with the color of the yarn on my needles. It made me think of the little cinnamon hearts that we used to eat when I was much younger, so I tucked a few skeins away for myself.

Recently the sweet Robin Red sock pattern came across my Instagram feed and I immediately thought of those Cinnamon Heart skeins of yarn I had set aside, cast the yarn on my needles and I am loving how it’s working up. The pattern is easy to follow along with and I can see a pair on my feet soon!
