In the past week or so, I have started no less than three project. There was actually a short period of time there where there were NO projects on the needles. Obviously that was rectified quickly.
I’m working on two new lace stoles. One is knit in Blåmussla from Färgkraft. It takes its inspiration from the ocean – the colours in that skein were just perfect for the theme.
The second stole is knit in Prezzie from Brooklyn Handspun. The yarn is a lovely purple and makes me think of “April showers bring May flowers”. I hope that April snow will bring the same…. Actually, we’ve had a few wonderful days in Ottawa. It’s been 20C, and it’s incredible to sit out on the back deck in shorts and t-shirt looking out at the snow-covered lawn. I don’t imagine this state will last a lot longer, but right now it is surreal.
The third project is a Spiderman blanket for my youngest son. The pattern is available for free at AnneM‘s blog. It was a bit of a rough start (I forgot to check the errata on Ravelry…..) and I found a missing k1 in row 17, but aside from that, it’s moving along nicely. I’m knitting it using Paton’s Classic Wool Merino, which had the best colour-choices for the Spiderman theme.
Here is a visit from an old friend…. the Burridge Lake Aran Afghan.
I’m sure many are already aware that MAGKnits folded last week. This lead to the pattern for the Burridge Lake Aran Afghan being unavailable (out of print already?!?). The pattern is now available again. I’ve republished it via Ravelry. Happy knitting!
