Friends in High Places

Justice Rothstein (see photo below) has been named to the Supreme Court of Canada - now I can *really* name drop!

I'm knitting a top down short sleeve pullover (left). I received the kit as a present from my knit buddy Richard, bless'm. It's from Shelridge Farms. The yarn is unbelieveable - soft, elastic, fabulous stitch definition. It really satisfies my cravings.

That's not me in the photo - that's the owner of Shelridge Farms! But the top is turning out exactly as in the photo - I'm almost halfway. Once I figure out how, I'll post photos of my progress.

I can't praise this yarn or pattern enough. I just ordered 6 skeins of their DK yarn to make a cardigan for the office. I can't wait to get it.

They are a small Canadian farm - the price is right and the yarns are gorgeous. I might try to visit in person this summer.
