Lace...puhtoohey

I have been knitting 3 different projects, all involving lace stitches. All three of them developed some sort of problem. All three have been put in a time out because I was so frustrated.

I picked one up last night and fixed the problem. So in the words of The Little Engine that could... " I think I can, I think I can...."

Another RAV hunt over and another begins


This was the answer for last week's rav hunt. It took all week, a hard one I guess.

IT is the sock portion of the spring sock and mitt club.

Very cute don't you think?
This is the designer's picture, not mine.

here is the pattern page.


The next rav hunt has started in the from robins nest group.

Clue two, ruffles and Daphne hat

I finished clue two of the March mystery socks last night.



I seem to be knitting tighter than mornal, but they seem to fit so far. I love the way Dream in Color Smooshy looks in this pattern. the color way is go go grassy. Yum!

I also finished the Daphne hat. I did it in Malabrigo twist in the cookie color way. I like twist, I like the color way, I like the pattern, not so sure variegated was the way to go for the hat. I think it's cute, even looks cute on Isabelle, but not on me. I still haven't found a hat that works for me.



I also finished "Just enough Ruffles" in malabrigo worsted in the cactus flower color way, that I got last summer. I love the way this turned out! I just want to wear it and wear it and wear it until it's too hot to wear anymore.

The 600 stitches on the ruffle nearly killed me though. I may make it again, but not soon.




Two pictures, one that shows the scarf well, but not me, and one that shows me better but not so much of the scarf. :D

Silky Saroyan



For some reason I have gotten into the spirit of Malabrigo March. And got back into Sock Knitters Anonymous.

I started the March Mystery sock, and finished my first Malabrigo project.
