 my new tricklooky looky what i learned :) short-row shaping in knit.  it's the multidirectional scarf i posted about the other day. i LOVE it! i know the colors are a bit strange, but i have an olive green coat that i'm making it for. the yarn is: elizabeth austen = andes in colorway 05 ForestMoss. soo yummy soft :) it makes me happy :) zero progress on anything else... yup a big fat NOTHIN'! am i worried? nah. my kiddos are off school for the holiday so i'm planning on doing much work during the next few days. my days are usually full with my little guy, but his 3 siblings will keep him busy. i did a bit of spinning today. filled 2 bobbins of the gwape wool and plyed them. also did a half-bobbin of some experimental spinning. i'm using, coopworth and cotton, mixing in jean threads and pieces.  it's fun. i'm anxious to work with it. i'm in process of a handbag from one of the interweave press mags (i don't remember which) with some other wool i spun (don't think i ever posted about it - it's red and black). i want to see this complete, and then make up my mind for sure, but for right now, i'm thinking it is going to be a good pattern for this yarn as well. we'll see. look at my baby girl. helping mommy shred the jeans.  i'm pretty sure i'm going to make something for her with it (ickola - do you see her two black nails? they got squished in a door at school several weeks ago. owwwieee!)

Way to go on the scarf! I have yet to try that trick. ;) your MD scarf is looking good girl! Isn't it fun? and a bit addictive too. lol. I'm loving your gwape wool. Can't wait to spin something that pretty.
I love the scarf!! so jealous. One day. . . . Oooh I love the scarf!!
Nice scarf trick! Short rows rock.
By Oh, your poor baby! I just assumed she had black nail polish to go with her orange shirt and black cat applique! That had to hurt something awful to have nails turn that black! Hope those nails are feeling better! |
