Greetings from Alaska! We’ve got gray skies, rain, and endless daylight!

I had such grand ideas about how I would travel this summer and keep writing patterns. Well, I have been traveling and I have been knitting but I have not had an internet connection! I planned ahead and switched to knitting software that doesn’t need the internet. At home I was using Stitchfiddle which is web-based. In the trailer I use Stitchmastery software. We have solar power so I’m able to use the computer to design any time that I want. As for blogging or posting patterns, that hasn’t actually happened since we’ve been traveling in Alaska.

It turns out that I’m having fun designing and knitting winter accessories now. When I get home in the fall I will post the patterns that I think are the most interesting. In the mean time I will send this sample back to the drawing board to re-work the color before making the whole mitten.
