Thank you all for the lovely birthday comments, and the competition entries! I popped on over to random.org and used the random number generator to come up with a winner. And the winner is….
\nBells!<\/a>
\nCongratulations, Bells, and thank you to everyone who entered. I really should do that more often!
\nIt’s raining. In fact, it’s been raining all week. And I’m over it.
\nSo Spirit remains unblocked. If the rain doesn’t go away soon, I’ll just steam block it so that I can finish it. So all that remains on the needles right now is Kitri, and the first sock is coming along beautifully.

\nI’m hoping that by today, I’ll be able to start the lace cuff. I’m long overdue for some lace, I think, and the cuff is done in Zephyr, which is my absolute favourite lace yarn.
\nA few people have asked me about the gadget on my needles. Here it is in action, up close.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s a StitchKeeper<\/a>! Here it is, off the needles.
\n

\nIt’s a great little knick knack! I use it all the time to keep my needles together. I got mine at The Loopy Ewe<\/a>. Mine are the small size, in the 6″ length. I highly recommend them!
\nI did finish one quick project this week, a facecloth for the Cloth and Soap Swap<\/a> on Ravelry.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s the “Ribbon and Lace” face cloth from the Fiber Trends “Bathing Beauties”<\/a> pattern. I used some Brown Sheep Cotton Fine that I got from Yarns Online<\/a>, but I’m a little worried that it’s too small. I hope my swapee likes it.
\nAnd I also finally cast on Gretel<\/a>.
\n

\nI’m using Sublime Yarns Cashmere Merino Silk Aran again. I really, really<\/em> love this yarn. I am a little worried that I’m going to run out though! So far it’s going very well. It’s my first go at knitting cables without a cable needle, and I’m not quite sure why it took me so long to learn, it’s so much quicker!
\nMaybe by my next post it’ll be finished. Or I’ll run out of yarn!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
