I’ve been feeling like some lace, as I mentioned a few entries back. This is the scarf I am working on for the “Knit in the City” event that is happening in a few weeks. I am about at the halfway point, and will be starting from the other end and grafting in the center so that it will look the same from both ends. When it’s blocked out, I am sure it will be even more lovely.
This is some KnitPicks Shimmer in Turquoise Splendor. I’m not sure about this yet, I thought the colors would be a little more subtle, but when I get to it, I’ll find out for sure. I don’t have a specific pattern in mind for it, but it will probably be a Fiber Trends shawl (one of the triangle ones they have) or maybe something from Folk Shawls?
I’m in no hurry, because I also bought some Koigu in shade 1020 which is a nearly solid. I think I may crochet a lacy shrug with it, if there is enough, otherwise, it’ll be a scarf, I guess. And there’s more, I’m afraid. I bought the whole box of KnitPicks Pallette, it’s their “fair isle” yarn. It’s lovely and I am sure I will have fun coming up with something to do with it. There was a cool bag in Folk Bags, I forget the name but it’s the Welsh version of a sporran and I’ve wanted to knit the dragon on there for a while, so maybe I’ll have a go at that and use it somewhere else, or maybe I’ll make the bag, minus the furry loopy bits.
It’s funny, I did all this shopping over the course of two weeks and didn’t even notice how much I ended up with until putting it all in this entry. I guess I should slow down a bit, eh?
