Still totally in love with the Fern Garden Stole.

\nIt’s not growing as fast as I’d like, but I’m enjoying the knitting. Despite the fact that I’ve tried very hard to ignore any and all housework this week, Emily went back to dancing after the summer vacation. She’s there a lot<\/em> and all that chauffeuring is eating up valuable knitting time.
\nAnd she can’t get her license for three more years. Dammit.
\nHowever, back to the stole. It’s labelled an Advanced Knit, but I’m finding it to be relatively easy. I’d guess that it earns the “Advanced” label because it has lace patterning on both right and wrong side rows, so there are no plain rows.
\nI haven’t had any trouble yet, and I’m on the second body repeat.
\nI haven’t forgotten the Bloomin’ Feet.

\nIt’s so nice to have two knits going, both of which I’m enjoying. I probably shouldn’t say that, huh? (Cue ominous music)
\nI am having a little bit of a problem with this swap.
\nI have some sock yarn. A bit. Well, a lot. I’ve been checking out all the blogs involved in the swap, and everyone is using al this gorgeous sock yarn. It’s far, far too tempting. I keep seeing beautiful yarn that I don’t own, and I’m lusting after it all. And lets face it, I think it’s going to take about ten years to knit all the sock yarn I already have.
\nIt’s such a hard life!
\nNext week La’s “Faina Scarf Along<\/a>” begins. La<\/a> wants to see our yarn. There is a teeny, tiny problem.
\nI haven’t decided what yarn I’m going to use. Here are my choices.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe pink from Wagtail Yarns is 100% mohair<\/a> in a 4ply. (Aussie equivalent to Fingering weight). The Jo Sharp Yarn is Alpaca Silk Georgette<\/a> in Musk. This is an Aussie 5ply, or Sportweight. The purple Wagtail yarn is 80% Mohair\/20% Merino<\/a>, also a 5ply or Sportweight.
\nThe pattern calls for 450 yards. I have only 410 yards of each of the Wagtail yarns, and 426 yards of the Jo Sharp, so I’m a tiny bit short on all of them.
\nDecisions, decisions.
\nI have a week. Almost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
