In the meantime I’ve progressed pretty fine with my Coaly Peacock. As a matter of fact all the stole needs to be called a FO is grafting together and blocking. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem you’d say. Only that I really don’t have the patience for grafting cobweb right now. Let alone black [...]

Okay, it’s dried, and I even wore it today. Here’s some eye candy. If you want more, there are more pictures on my Ravelry page. Close-up of nupps, just because I’m so happy with them… I think I see more Estonian Lace in my future.
Phew, I managed to finish the shawlette version of Echo Flower this morning (in just one week!) I hope you’ll excuse the fact that it’s still wet. I’ll try to add some more photos later when it’s off the wires.

We so rarely manage to get away, so this day trip was pretty exciting for me. Warm spring weather + spring break + new car = road trip. My husband wanted to build up his stash (guitar amplifiers), which was the real occasion of the trip, but hardly the most exciting part. Who knew that [...]

With the arrival of spring (and completion of my Seascape Stole — pictures to follow at a later date), I have finally mustered up the motivation to cast on the Echo Flower shawl. The orange I had felt too summery for the blah winter days, but the arrival of sun and warm temperatures here has [...]

I finished my Echo Flower Shawl using Malabrigo lace in Amoroso. I loved knitting this pattern and learning all about nupps. My ravelry link is here.

Here is my cast on for the Echo Flower Shawl. I cast this on for the Ravelympics and I’m fitting it in between my spinning. I have eight repeats of the flower chart done, but I have more than half my yarn left, so I will do another one before starting the border. I’m using [...]

Finally! Echo has been blocked, photographed, and put away. I’m so happy to have this off the needles, as it proved to be a major source of frustration. Those nasty little nupps! You can find more photos on my Ravelry page here. If you look at the close ups I took, you’ll see where I [...]

Sooo… That cowl? It’s lovely and all, but it doesn’t fit the way I wanted it to. So, I’ve done some reworking, and have a new chart. The old chart ought to be perfect for sport-weight yarn. This new chart should make the DK yarn produce a cowl I like. That’s underway — with a [...]
