Seasons of Lace

I can’t believe summer is over and fall is here already.  Although I did not meet all my lacey goals I’m happy with what I did get done - I’ve just been really bad with updating anything lately.  Sooo with that…

My most recently finished item is my Melon Shawl done in Dream In Color Baby.

and my long ago finished item is my trellis lace scarf.

Then there is my man I was this close to finishing, but I ran out of yarn, did a freaky frogging and ended up at the half way mark again flutter scarf. Yes, we had a wee bit of trouble. It’s all straightened out now but she’s still waiting on the sidelines because my heart is just not in it.

I think one of the reasons this got to me so bad is that I also had a yarn shortage happen with the melon shawl. Thankfully, with the aide of Ravelry, I was able to get the few yards needed to finish that - I didn’t even try with the flutter scarf. I figured I would just rip back a bit and make it shorter, but I entered this black hole of still not enough. I must have ripped back at least three times, each time being more that the last, and still would come up short, and I only needed enough for a few rows. So darn frustrating. In a fit I went crazy to make sure I had enough, and I guess I over did it. I blame it on Olympic Knitting stress

My just started lace project is the lace ribbon scarf Not much done yet, but I’m sure enjoying it.

• Ribbon Lace scarf = 7 yards
• Flutter scarf = 240 yards
• Melon Shawl = 735 yards
• Trellis lace =180 yards
• Branching Out = 250 yards

For a total of 1,412 yards knitted. No prize winner by any means but I still had a ton of fun
