Whew. I took some really horrible pictures of what I've been working on...and some cool stuff I've acquired.First off, I bought some Violet's Pink Ribbon yarn from Lisa Souza's website. I can't remember where I originally heard about it, but here is link to the Lime and Violet website. I couldn't pass up helping someone one out who is in need.
I'm thinking that I would make a scarf with it. Now comes the pattern search, right? Well, there's always Clapotis! This yarn is so soft and purty...I can't wait to knit something up with this.Next is the 3 skeins of Noro Silk Garden. Although you can't tell from these pictures, the primary colors beside brown and grey is pink and purple. I also need to find a pattern for this. I'm thinking more of a rectangular shawl than a scarf. Hey, there's always Clapotis! I really enjoyed making my sister's scarf, but I don't think that I'm going to make another Argosy. It was fun, but it wasn't that much fun. Again, suggestions on any lace scarves/stoles welcome!
Speaking of my sister's Argosy...Backstory
Pattern: Knitty's Arogsy
Yarn: 2 skeins of Noro Silk Garden Lite
Needles: Size 6
Exposition: This wasn't too bad of a project. I was able to memorize the pattern fairly easily. I did realize once I bound off that I made a little oopsie. I fixed it and so there's no need to talk about it, right? Right.
I'm happy with how the scarf turned out, regardless. It just needs some light blocking and a happy trip to Texas. I hope my sister likes it. If not, she can send it back because gf has had her eye on it.
Backstory
Pattern: Seed Stitch Scarf
Yarn: bright pink thick/thin wool bulky yarn
Needles: Size 17 circulars
Exposition: I bought this yarn at my LYS. A lady at the store was knitting up a cute cable/rib scarf and it looked so cozy that I couldn't resist.
I tried a few different patterns before just deciding on using a simple seed stitch. Normally I reject almost any pattern that has too much seed stitch [because it's a pain in the ass] but the larger needles was kinda fun. I was unsure of the length I wanted and am still deciding if I want to add a few more rows. Maybe I'll just add some fringe. Maybe I'll just leave it alone.Lastly is a scarf that my friend got me for Christmas. I wish I could say it was my own brilliant creation, but no. Isn't it cute, though? The color scheme is unique and I totally love it. I love the pattern [so simple] and don't think that I'm not going to copy it.
Well, that's it for now. I'm going to search around for some interesting lacy scarf so I can cast on for something interesting as soon as possible!
