cpolkon the needles
alpaca yarn anklet - 50%.
Garnstudio 100% alpaca, fingering/lace weight. one sock finished, and successfully bound off. new techniques leraned - Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn bind off (fast, easy, stretchy. I'm sold.)
cabled coif - 100%.
Cascade 220 100% wool, worsted/double knitting weight. blocked yesterday, now off the board and ready to give.
wrap dress - about 40%.
Bernat Harmony 100% arcylic, aran wieght. front right panel, half the back, and one sleeve knitted. added a ribbing detail at the back for some extra shaping.
danica entrelac scarf 40% (?)
Cascade 220 100% wool, stash 100% wool. I've been weaving the ends as I go. I think I'm going to need to buy two more balls of the cascade 220, but I'll knit till I run out and see if that's long enough.
because I like LONG scarves. I'll take a picture of my not-a-doctor-who scarf and you'll see what I mean.
lace alpaca scarf 0%
the drop stitch lace is a disaster. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this stuff. other than hate it with all the hate. perhaps I'll double the strands and make a halfdome out of it. (obviously Jesse Loesberg is my fave designer of the moment - he designed Danica, as well.)
yarn I'm lusting over - Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb. it's very expensive (at 40 bucks for a 220 yd skein,) so I'll probably do a small project with it.
projects I want to do next
- Luna Lovegood's Gryffindor Scarf (my own design)
- Entrelac Argyle vest (my own design - dunno if it'll work, but if it does it'll be cool)
- a bulky sweater with a horribly complicated cabling detail. check that out. I'll probably go spare, doing that.
