Happy New Year!!!

Here's to a Happy, Prosperous and most of all Healthy New Year!!

Knitting:

My Blue Tunic is the modified  Lacey Tunic.  I took away the cowl neck and made a scoop using seed stitch. The yarn is Sublime Yarns Soya Cotton DK and I knit it on #4.


You can read more on Ravelry if you like.

Catch you soon - have a safe holiday.

FO: Haruni

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 -

FO: Bitterroot

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.....
