Endings

Feb21

All my projects seem to be closing in on their respective finishing lines.
Charlotte is racing along.


This was exactly the right lace project to follow the Shetland Shawl. Fingering weight on 3.5mm needles feels like chunky yarn on broomsticks after cobweb on 2.5mm needles!
Buttercup is a bathing beauty.

All done, and blocking. All I have to do is seam her up, and finish knitting the garter band for the bottom. That bit is really, really boring, so it’s taking a while.
And the only other project currently on the needles is the Baudelaire socks.

As per usual, I have three projects going at once. A lace project, a garment and a pair of socks. Once they’re done, I can start three more.
What’s next? Not really sure yet, but this arrived yesterday.

Oh.My.Gravy. It’s heaven in a ball band. Filatura Di Crosa Superior, 70% Cashmere, 30% silk, 100% droolworthy. Not a hint of scratchiness, it’s just lush. I think this will hit the needles in short order.

  2. That Filatura Di Crosa Superior is certainly droolworthy. I am half way through making the ‘Lacy Sampler Scarf’ using it. This is a free pattern on http://www.tahkistacycharles.com . This would be a simple knit for you Donna, I am finding it very enjoyable but a little bit challenging as I am a new lace knitter. It only uses one ball, though, so perhaps not a good idea for you. I’m sure you have something wondeful in mind for it — Enjoy!

  4. Oooo, that’s pretty! What’s it going to become? A scarf? Another amazing stole? Details!
    (I currently have 5 main projects on the go. I envy your discipline.)

  5. You are such a good finisher!!
    I had the chance to feel some of that Superior the other night – OMG, it is divine! You are right, totally lush. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

  6. Oh wow, the Baudelaires look fabulous. They look so calm and comfortable. I know that sounds strange, but they looked very different in bright lime green!!! How fast are you knitting???!!!
