Lochinver Progress
Here is some progress on Lochinver. I have completed half of the underarm gusset, and am now working on the front yoke. This has been so fun to knit! And I really like knitting in the round...don't you just hate it when you get the front side of a sweater done and then you have to do the back [insert Halloween scream here.] Granted, I'll still have to do two sleeves, but I think I can deal with that.
Some other newsworthy items of note:
- I have busted TWO of my cords for my Denise Interchangeable Needles. The first one, I attributed to being maybe a bit too rough in shoving my stitches around on the cord. But the second one seemed like just a spontaneous failure. I mailed the two of them back to Denise's today, I hope they treat me right. I do really like the needles, though - and especially the way they double as stitch holders.
- I had a reader ask me for directions on how to make the entrelac felted bag. Hmmm, will have to dig out my notes on that but it probably is worth writing down, even if just for my own records.
- I've decided I'm going to rip up the Koigu sock that's half done and use the Threadbear Fiber Arts Broadripple pattern instead. Seems like a more worthy use for the yarn, and they've posted a version of the pattern just for Koigu yarn.
- Starting to get itchy for my next project - it's definitely going to be something in fair isle. Did you see Wendy's site today, with the kit she ordered? Tempting...
