WIP Wednesday - Celes x 2

I started Celes in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Briar. (In the photo, it's the one on the left) I like it, but was afraid the pattern would get lost in the yarn. Then I found the original yarn and colorway I wanted to knit Celes in (Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Blue Gingham) (In the photo, it's the one on the right. So I started a second Celes scarf. I debated whether I should keep) both scarves and in the end I think I do like them both. So will continue knitting on both. Whichever of the two I finish first will end up being my C for my Lace A-Z challenge.

Cheviot Hills

 Pattern: Cheviot Hills from Bare Naked Knitspot Club May 2013

Yarn: Bare Naked Wools Breakfast Blend in Oatmeal

Needles: US Size 4 and 5

Started on: Sept. 21st

Finished on: Nov. 11th

Comments/Modification: I used different yarn than what was from the club kit. I knit the medium size. I started with a little less than two full skeins of yarn, and I ended up running short of yarn. I only did seven out of the twelve rows for the ruffle edging. Despite running short of yarn, I am still quite pleased with the size it turned out to be. This was an enjoyable comfort knit that can be done pretty mindlessly.

WIP Wednesday - Scarves

Yesterday, I started two new scarves.

Celes - This will be my "C" for my Lace A-Z Challenge. So far I really am enjoying the pattern and yarn combination. I'm using Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Briar. This is one of my go to yarns. I think Briar is one of my favorite Madelinetosh color ways.

Crooked Little Scarf - I've knit two repeats so far. I'm using Pigeonroof Studios Sock Yarn in White Rabbit. I got this yarn from the Alice In Wonderland Series kits from Woolgirl a few years back. I'm finding the yarn to be a bit splitty, so I have to be careful with it. Otherwise, the  yarn is really lovely. It's soft and springy and this silvery color is really beautiful.

Hazard - test knit

Pattern: Hazard Wrap- test knit for Knitspot

Yarn: Bare Naked Wool Breakfast Blend fingering in Bakery Rye

Needles: US 5 and 6

Started on: Oct. 18th

Finished on: Nov. 2nd

Comments: This was the test knit I did for Knitspot. I only managed to snap one finished photo of it before getting it out the door into the mail. The pattern was very intuitive and addicting to knit. I love the texture and the way it turned out. If I were to knit this again, I would make the blanket version. The yarn was soft and lovely to work with. The yarn got even softer after I blocked the finished wrap.

WIP Wednesday - Cheviot Hills

I'm chugging away on my Cheviot Hills shawl. I'm in the middle of Chart E. The rows are getting longer. I'm using Bare Naked Wools Yarn Breakfast Blend in Oatmeal. The yarn is soft and I love the color. I can't wait to get this shawl finished so I can wear it.
