Since June 26, I have completed a ton of projects and as of today, I also have two projects on my needles.
First, I made a simple yet feminine scarf.
Then I made my first ever shawl! I love the free pattern (Azzu's Shawl) from Emma Fassio.
I love this one so much, I have another on my needles right now. This time in Alpaca, with smaller needles, and I'm planning on a picot bind off. And because it went so well, I made a shawl in a different pattern.
By now, most people observe the pattern developing here. I have a lot of FOs in purple. What can I say?
Discovered an AMAZING pattern for showcasing the wonder that is Manos wool. It was so embarrassingly simple, I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually qualify as knitting. This sucker is just shy of 6' long and it took about 3 hours to make, most of which was spent on the fringe I added.
Then I made a fancy and smooshy cowl. It's pretty and wears like a detachable turtleneck. I expect some bonus warmth from it this winter.
Then I posted on Facebook that I want to be paid to knit, so I was commissioned by JL to make him a Cunning Hat (as seen on Firefly, worn by Adam Baldwin as he portrays Jayne Cobb). I scoured the web to find a decent pattern and using yarns handpicked by JL, got this gem. I'm so happy he loves it, and let's face it, it looks damn good on him. See my pattern notes on Ravelry.
Currently, I'm working some socks for CS in a most delicious yarn found on etsy - doesn't it make you think of Van Gogh's Starry Night?
And lastly, I indulged in KnitPicks limited edition Preciosa - one cherished skein. I am still hunting for the perfect project for this gloriously delicious yarn. Look how squishy!
Until next time!
