So now what am I working on now that Olivia is done and dusted?
I started a Lily cardigan, suing some mohair/wool blend I got from the Wagtail Yarns farm a few years back on one of our trips to see David’s family.
Coming along swimmingly! First sleeve is done, I’ve actually started the second.
But, oops! Shiny, shiny syndrome bit. I decided that I absolutely had to have a grey cowl. Like, yesterday. So I picked up some Rowan Wool Cotton in Misty and made some executive decisions. Couldn’t find a pattern that I really liked, so I made one up.
I picked up three balls, and I’m halfway through the second. Three looks to be about right.
But then, the new Kim Hargreaves book arrived. Trying to avoid the temptation, but theres some Kidsilk Haze and Rowan Fine Lace in my stash that is just begging to become Pippa….
Apologies if you haven’t received a reply to a comment. The web host has implemented a “fix” that has resulted in my not receiving comments by email, which makes it much harder to respond. The guru is on it, he tells me. This is after the blog software upgrade that went wonky and refused to accept any comments so it had to be downgraded. And not related, I’m told!
ah, I have a bit of a soft spot for patterns called Lily! this looks lovely 🙂
and yay for shiny shiny – big fan of following the glitter bait 😉
I like that lace edging on Lily. I also knitted a grey cowl & have been wearing it a lot this wearing as grey goes with most color. I was eyeing that Rowan Cotton (same color) on Saturday when I was in the shop.
Sometimes new and exciting is hard to resist (especially if the gloss has gone off the current project!)
you know, ive made that lily cardigan twice and it worked perfectly both times. i should go back to it, its going to look gorgeous in that yarn. and i love the way you just ‘picked up’ some rowan and made up your own pattern. of course you did. seriously, kim hargraves should pay you as her own personal test knitter. thats going to look great too.
