I want to knit...

I'd like to knit this:

Flaming June

But we've been pretty busy with this:

She loves my yarn, but not in the same way I do. She thinks it's her play toy... I'm sure she'll outgrow this stage (she's only 10 months) and I can get back to knitting!

I started this intriguing project in December, using the yarn I reclaimed from a frogged project.

The yarn is KnitPicks City Tweed HV and the needles were #4 Options (yes, I knit loosely). I LOVE this jacket and wish it was going to be colder here a bit longer so I could wear it more this season. But it will be ready for next winter :-)

The next project (I already started) is Hannah Fettig's Featherweight Cardigan.
And am using Silky Alpaca Lace in the very colors you see!
Happy knitting, my friends -

Haruni by Emily Ross

The yarn was somewhat of a mystery - a dear friend gave it to me and thought is was silk/tencel blend. It was lovely to knit with and blocked out beautifully. The color is actually more lavender/blue than the blue you see.

The total weight is 118 grams, the yarn was a 3 ply, 20 WPI. And I used #4 Bryspun circs.

Happy knitting to you all -

I have never knited or worn shawls. Until now -




Bitteroot by Rosemary Hill is a beautiful and intuitive knit. I used KnitPicks Gloss sock yarn and #6 Harmony needles.

I have been eyeballing Swallowtail - but will need to learn nupps. Apparently this is a stitch that has many knitters cussing! I searched and found a video on Knitting Daily with Nancy Bush showing how to do this. Did you know the "nupps" rhymes with soups?? (I was rhyming it with cups.)

I think I am hooked on lace shawls.....
