sots3 clue 6

I know I just showed you clue five, but I wanted to get clue six finished to show you before the Summer of Lace ended. I usually divide the clues up by the number of days I have to work on it, so doing the entire clue in one day was a bit harsh. At any . . . → Read More: sots3 clue 6 Read more »

Bird’s Nest stole

I finally finished my Bird’s Nest Stole from Folk Shawls. Even though it took quite a bit less yarn than the pattern called for, it still seemed to take forever to knit. It’s knit from Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Iris Heather. 2095 yds.  Size 21″ x 79″. Nice . . . → Read More: Bird’s Nest stole Read more »

Here’s my last update post, with yardage, which obviously does not really matter as far as the competition goes, but I’m feeling pretty happy with how much I’ve accomplished.

il mare oscuro

I didn’t quite get this finished for the Ravelympics deadline, and it took me even longer to block it, but my stole, inspired by the sheen of the yarn and the ideas of water and the sea, is finally finished.

Casting on again

I couldn’t resist this one, though I did try. Here is the Mystery Stole 4, from Pink Lemon Twist. I’m working on the second part now, and hope to be done both in time for clue 2. The yarn is Malabrigo laceweight in Sunset, which I absolutely adore. In fact, as I’m knitting I keep thinking . . . → Read More: Casting on again Read more »
