Here we go again… April 9, 2008

It is Wednesday again!! And we know that means that I am to show you updates on works in progress or just new WIP’s in general! Well, I have a few to show you. Hemlock ring hasn’t really made any progress since last week, so there is no picture update for you there. Well, if you really want to look at it then go back to last Wednesday’s post! So, anyway, this week I have a few new items for the list.

Much to Crystal’s delight, I have finally started working on her scarf. It is going beautifully! The pattern is Liesel by Mary Joy Gumayagay. It is a beautiful climbing leaf pattern that dear Crystal has been waiting very patiently for. The yarn is:

It was purchased from the Loopy Ewe and is like butter to work with. I am using size 6 needles as this is a fingering weight yarn. This is going to block out to be a gorgeous scarf!

What?

What are you pointing at???

OH THE BOWL!

You noticed… how nice!

Yes that is a yarn bowl and yes it is a KnitWitch yarn bowl too. Who loves me enough you ask??? Why Cristi does! She was sweet enough to find me a beautiful green yarn bowl. Here’s a few more shots of it for you:

Even felted on the bottom for no slippin’ while knittin’!!! Thank you so much Cristi!! I LURVE IT! (to borrow a bit from Stacey)

I also started on another pair of Toe up socks yesterday. My others are finished and I will have them pictured and posted later this week.

Whatcha think? Very pretty colors aren’t they! And I will tell you that the yarn is uber smooshy. It is Hill Country Yarns:

This was also ordered from the Loopy Ewe as part of my after Christmas yarn binge. So I had some Christmas $$. What would you have done with it???!!!

The pattern is a personal one and I’ll let you see what I do with it the farther along I go.

Oh! did I mention that the Yarn Harlot herself has touched these socks? Hehe… those pictures will come to you tomorrow.

Until then….

Love & Stitches,
