So here is an update on finished & started projects:
I finished the blue cabled shrug from interweave knits. I love it!! It is a piece that will get a lot of use here by the ocean! Of course I couldn’t leave the pattern the way it was written, I decided to make ties instead of having the front cross over & pin shut. I like the ties better than having to mess with pins or broaches.
I started a fun hooded vest out of handpaintedyarn superbulky merino wool in pagoda that I got in trade from Tracy. In the round with deep 2×2 ribbing on the bottom and the hood is 2×2 rib also. Now I just have to sew a zipper in, no problem! Knit on size 11’s this went really fast & is a very functional piece of clothing!
Someday I will have a whole section of free patterns but as of now I just don’t have the attention span to work on it.
I have cast on a blanket for my daughter. Using some really soft cotton boucle yarns in red, pink, purple, blue and green. I am planning a simple striped pattern that will end up twin size for her bed. Rose our beautiful pain in the ass lop bunny has chewed up her afghan I made her as a toddler into quite a few pieces. At first i thought it might be salvageable but looking at it yesterday I decided it’s not. Shame too, it was gigantic! I will have to take a couple of pictures to demonstrate the destructiveness of bunnies on yarn items!
I will go cross some items off my list of projects now!
Ciao!
