Knit on these over the thanksgiving trip, a few knit nights, and I’m just still not feeling it. Ripping to reuse the yarn for a baby sweater I think. 11/20: ripped again and cast on again, this time doing the chart not upside down; better but yarn striping isn’t showing things off to full effect….
wound skein into ball, cast on. After a misstart with the lace design (creating on the fly), ripped out and started back on the garter portion. turning out much nicer! Name TBA! Used less than full skein of yarn. Wren is named for a little bird. It’s a little shawlet with W’s in it like…
started out during Lost, and moved along between other things today.
commissioned scarf (white with sequins was requested, doing sparkle yarn with silver beads) 9/15: currently ~30” unblocked using size 6/0 silver lined beads with superfloss to add them on each stitch. used just over 200 beads (217?) size 4. Added picot crochet with beads to each edge (slightly like “Crochet Edgings & Trims” page 26).
swatched on several diff sized needles, and the larger swatch was so much more helpful to see this new technique. short rows are rockin’.
