More FO's!
Yep, I seem to be able to finish a few things up! I won't have everything finished by the end of the month but this is better then nothing.
First up, one that has been on the needles for quite a long time :
The close-up is a bit weird, but still. Oh, and yes, still need to knot the second fringe, didn't feel like it yesterday (and my back was hurting because of the bending over).
Stats :
Pattern : Lady Eleonor from Scarf Style (do I really need to link this?)
Yarn : Noro Silk Garden #234, 10 balls
Needles : 5mm Addi Turbo circulars
Started/finished : started ages ago, finished January 22 2007
Modifications : I did use smaller needles, and I just knitted till I ran out of yarn, but apart from that I didn't change a thing!
I still need to block the shawl, though I don't know when I'll do that. I will wear it on Saturday though, to dinner with my inlaws.
Second FO :
Stats :
Pattern : Ribbon scarf from Holiday Knits
Yarn : 100% mohair, from LYS
Needles : 5mm inox circs
Started/finished : started on January 20, 2007 finished January 22 2007
Modifications : After the last increasing row I doubled my yarn for a last row and the cast off.
This was a commissioned knit (I wouldn't wear this myself). I'm getting tired of these scarves. It takes forever to complete a row near the end and there is no pleasure in knitting it.
I also have been spinning quite a bit more then my usual, probably because of my 'no new projects'-rule which I'm keeping to quite well!
100% superwash merino, handdyed, spun to about fingering weight. It's about 95 grams so enough for a pair of socks.
This is intended for my sockret pal, but well, I'm a bit confused right now about the swap and all. We'll see.
Talking about the sockret pal exchange, I had the most lovely pal. She sent out her last package quite early - got it more then a week ago while the swap actually lasts till the end of March - and revieled herself. Sadly she lost her youngest daughter in a tragic car accident on Saturday morning. Please do pray for Debbie and her family!
First the package from December :
There is a glass angel missing, but she spent the entire season in my tree! I did get socks in every package (we were only supposed to send one pair throughout the swap). I also got a lot of little knitting notions, needles, and extra yarn. In this package Interlacement and Lorna's Laces (there were 2 balls, only one in the picture).
The last package, with lovely bathing stuff. Again, socks, and some mystery yarn (she didn't include the label). Stitch markers which I think are handmade and another pair of needles in a hard to get size (for me that is, over here they don't sell the 2.25, 2.75 etc. sizes).
Debbie, thank you so much for being such a great pal. I'm thinking of you and your family all the time, and I'm sending you all the support I can throughout this difficult time.
By the way, it's finally getting cold over here, would that be good enough to start a pair of mittens and a hat with earflaps, in case I go back to work by bike next week? :D
