Knitting WIPs and FO

---

What? You think I can't blog my knitting with the rest of them? Well, generally you are correct. I can't keep focused on any one subject or topic long enough to do anything of the sort, so as a treat, here are a couple WIPs! Maybe an FO as well.

WIPs

Knitterary Scarf

Yarn: Cascade Bollicine Dolly
            Color: #92 Turquoise

# of balls: 2 (from Dreamsweaver at Winter Exchange)

Needles: Size US#6 Addi-turbo circulars

Start/End Date: Uh, some time after New Year's 2007 and before May 11, 2007... Still in progress.

Discuss:
This is my Knitterary Scarf... she probably has a name for it, but I don't know it at the time. As you can see, it is a rather intricate set of cables... and the fancy part hasn't started yet! Oh, Knitterary, I await Chart B eagerly! At the time of this photo I had a mere FOUR crossover rows to complete before Chart B is called for... I am farther along by now :-)

Victorian Scarf Box

Description: Filet crochet pattern to be assembled, stiffened and embellished.

Pattern: Victorian Christmas Crochet (Plaid #7685) "Ribbons and Lace"

Yarn: unknown Cotton Crochet Thread

Color: Ivory

# of balls: One... so far

Needles: Boye Size #7 Steel Crochet hook

Discuss: I have been working on this a LONG time and this is all I have to show... well, to be honest, I only work it in short bursts and then put it aside for a few weeks or months depending. It is a great project and I honestly can't wait to finish it ... it is just inconvenient to do much at a time. Oh well. I am thinking I should've started to work it in Purple or Green... or even Black. But now I am stuck with the Ivory. Still looks nice. Knitty-Kitty likes it.

FO

Diagonal Scarf

Lorna's Laces
SWIRL CHUNKY // 83% Merino, 17% Silk // 3 stitches per inch

These photos are of my new scarf. I did the pattern myself based on a staggered rib, it turns out to fall very nicely. The important part is that this was made with two whole skeins of Lorna's Laces Silk and Merino knit on size 11 Rosewood Needles. All from my loving Tinley Park SNB when I left for New York.
