WIP Wednesday

I started Juno Regina. I really love how this looks so far. I'm using Lorna's Laces Helen's Laces in Cranberry. It's such a beautiful red color.

Juneberry

Pattern: Juneberry designed by Brooklyn Tweed

Yarn: The Periwinkle Sheep in Merino Silk in Rose Quartz

Needles: US Size 7

Started on: October 3rd

Finished on: October 16th

Comments: This is my "J" for my Lace A-Z project. This shawl is very difficult to photograph the true color. It's a bit more pink then the picture shows.

It was a fairly quick knit. I thought this pattern had nupps in it. But after reading the pattern, I learned they were bobbles. Bobbles are much simpler, quicker, and less annoying to knit. My favorite part of the pattern to knit was the knitted on edging. I really love the way the knitted on border looks.

WIP Wednesday: On the Edge

I'm working on the edging of Juneberry. The whole thing looks like spaghetti.... I can't wait for the magic of blocking. I can already tell though, that the shawl is going to be smaller than I would like. Ah well, I was too lazy to do the math and figure out how to make it bigger...

Anyway, I'm still enjoying knitting on it. My favorite part of the shawl is the knitted on edging. I love knitted on edgings in general. I'm not quite sure why.... maybe it's the challenge of it and being able to conquer the fiddly-ness of it. Or the torture of being so close to finished yet so far... or the fascination of how much yarn gets gobbled up by the edging... Almost finished...just not quite there yet...

Sixteen

I recently picked up my Shine Memory Blanket again. I'm now up to sixteen squares finished. This is great mindless knitting.

Seeing Double

 I started  Juneberry in Madtosh Pashmina in the Briar colorway.

I love working on this shawl so much, I started a second one in pink. This one is knit in The Periwinkle Sheep in Merino Silk in Rose Quartz.

In September, I finished 2 pairs of socks and 1 shawl.
