Off again

Well, I've started another project that's going to look awfully familiar:


Eh?

This little scarf is knit up using Knit Picks Chroma worsted, in Impressionist and Grey. Lovely colourways. It's such a simple pattern! It's a simple 1x1 rib, two rows of each colour, and the first and last stitch of every second row slipped. Easy Peasy! You can check it out on Ravelry

Lovely ball too:


Once this scarf is finished, I have a hat to knit, two pairs of kilt hose, and a shawl. Phew!

If I don't get a nice glamour shot of this scarf I just might kill the recipient and take it home. Just saying.

Sunlit Lace



This shawl has been a labour of love since day one. Most times, it's very tough love. I'm not a patient person, and lacework really tests me. I've been working on this shawl for about 3 years now, and while it's limping along, it's getting somewhere.

WIP Wednesday, after all.

Mushroom

There isn't much worse then knitting up a yarn you don't like. You have to use it, because someone gave it to you. You have to pretend to enjoy that knitting within earshot of said someone. Even though it's acrylic and you really do prefer wool, you have to knit that yarn.

Of course, it could be worse if you finished knitting said yarn into a hat, and realized that the bind-off that you used was tight enough that it now sits on your head like a neon pink mushroom cap.

Rip it, rip it, rip it.


I get by with a little help from my friends.

I can't wait to receive my KnitPicks order. I have to knit another striped scarf, another bramble hat, and 2 more sets of kilt hose. Of course, I'm receiving yarn for myself as well, but that project will have to wait till these are done.
