Er, hi!

I’ve mostly been lurking about on Ravelry and not here. Which is terrible of me, really. Must do better.

I have been knitting though! This is my first attempt at a proper lace project and it’s the Cheshire Cat stole by Big Alice in Pagewood farm’s Willow Creek lace-weight (colourway: Golden). I’ve decided to do the beaded version while I’m at it because how can I resist the shiiiiny things?

It’s going very well so far – I’ve only had to rip back once *knocks wood* – and it’s actually a couple more repeats in than the picture shows. It’s an absolutely gorgeous pattern and once I’d got over the whole ‘arrrgh!’ of first time lace, I’ve taken to it like a duck out of water.

Sidar baby duffle

It’s been so long since I posted anything to this blog. So about time, right?

This, by the way, is the most recent project I’ve finished. The pattern is from Sidar, to use with their baby bamboo (great yarn), but I had some baby cashmerino so…

I’m very happy (and deeply relieved!) with the way it turned out. I like cabelling to knit, but the yarns are very different –cashmerino is soft and springy, bamboo is slippery and drapey- but it’s ended up being the right size. I still want to block it, just to make it that little bit neater, and find some buttons but it’s pretty much done.
