A super quick post, to bring you all up to date-ish. I’ve been busy, finishing. I’ve had so many projects on the go that it’s made me feel quite frazzled. I like the calm of project monogamy.
\nBut I had Fancy on the needles for myself, and that was a little complex for carry around knitting. So I started Smoulder for Em. Then we went to Victoria for our holiday, and Fancy was too complex for holiday knitting and Smoulder was too close to complete to take along, so I started Edie. For the shop, I was working on Floyd.
\nThen it all came together, and all were finished in the same week! First off was Smoulder, for Em.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Smoulder<\/a> by Kim Hargreaves from her “Whisper” book<\/a>.
\nYarn: Garnstudio DROPS Kid-silk, 4 skeins. A swap gift from BlueADT!
\nNeedles: 3.75mm, 4mm, 6mm and 7mm.
\nMods: None
\nOverall: I’m happy with it, but not ecstatic. Em is ecstatic though, so it’s all good. The sleeves are really<\/em> narrow. In the book they’re really long, which Em liked. But when she puts it on, because the sleeves are so narrow, they draw right up.
\nIt knit up really quickly – you hold the yarn double and use one small and one large needle. I used my Knitpro Harmony interchangables, one size on each end, and it worked a treat! (Yay for interchangeables!)

\nWould I knit it again? Maybe. It’s a great piece, and knits up quickly, but I’d either knit a size larger than I think,. or add length. I used up almost all four balls, so I’d need an extra ball to lengthen any part of it. And I crocheted around the neck – only a row of double crochet, but still! Crochet! Me!!
\nThe other finished project was Floyd for the shop. Cute, cute, cute!

\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Floyd<\/a> from Rowan Miniature Classics<\/a> by Martin Storey
\nYarn: Rowan Handknit Cotton 3 balls.
\nNeedles: 3.25mm and 3.75mm Addi turbos
\nMods: None
\nOverall: Cute! I love this book – it’s the one that also has the “Blossom” bolero that I finished recently. It’s full of supercute baby knits! Quick and easy to knit, too.

\nI don’t have pictures yet of the other finished knits – I’ll save them for next time. Blog fodder!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
