Progress! That's right! I made a dent in finishing some of my knitting projects that were on needles. I must admit..... it feels quite good. Completed projects are the best! Took 8 daunting unfinished projects down to 5. Sweet ..... now there is no guilt to cast on something new.
I have finished and blocked the socks I was knitting with the Creatively Dyed Yarn for a gift.
I have Charlize #2 on the blocking board (above). And I have my latest scarf design, Dandelion. waiting to be measured, blocked, measured again and photographed.
Dandelion has a open look (but not lace) and was inspired by the beauty of a field of dandelions. It works well with hand-dyed yarns, as well as solid colors. It is knit in Alisha Goes Around, Richness of Martens, a fingering weight yarn with merino, cashmere and silk. I think it could also look great in yarns that have large stripe repeats like Jawoll Magic or Zauberball.
I hope to release and publish Dandelion later this week. Dandelion is very easy and a fun knit. It was so fun to knit I think I would like to make it as a wrap and an afghan blanket too. I have worked out some pattern changes to make it into a wrap/shawl and afghan/throw blanket. I will publish and make those chages available as ready.
