I started the linen hand towel from Mason Dixon knitting in the yarn I bought at Yarnover. It is rough to knit with, but the results will be worth it. I am much farther along with this now. It is my bus knitting and I get about 10 rows done a day. Only 3 more pattern repeats and I will be done!
I finished knitting the Baby Bolero and I seamed up my first sleeve! This was so much fun. I think it turned out pretty good.
I also went to Shepherds Wool and Sheep Festival a couple weekends ago. I wanted to go to the beaded stitch marker class, but it was canceled at the last minute. I spent the class fee on this yarn instead. I picked it up at the
Blackberry Hills booth. I wanted it to make a shawl that I could leave draped over my couch.
It looks like it is three strands of laceweight yarn just barely plied together. Does anyone have any suggestions for an easy pattern?
I also picked up this beautiful basket to put my current WIP so it isn't laying around on my end table. I love the shape of it, and the blue in it is perfect.
I have a couple more projects that I have started, but I haven't taken pictures of yet. That should be part of my relaxing that I do this weekend! I hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Weekend.
I didn't know you were going to the Shepherds Festival! I like the yarn you bought.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteI meant to tell you at our knitting at Caribou that I checked out your blog. You've done a great job; maybe I'll have you give me tips when it is time to set up the shop blog.
Have a safe weekend and we'll see you the at the following meetup at Caribou. (the hand towel is turning out great - you have inspired Tiffany to try one)
