Must Get Back to It

This is the sweater that I was working on, so it qualifies as lace and ufo.

More than half way through the month and I haven't touched it in weeks. I'm at the colour change part. At least it's worked in the round so it feels like I'm quite far along.

Combined Post - Tubey + Lace

After a long avoidance, Tubey is finished. It had been sitting there in pieces/parts for a month.

I took a breath and bound the back to the arms -



did some messing around to get the front part attached -



and then decided that the neckline really needed a finish, which I did with I-cord (and the same for the sleeve ends).



It is surprisingly comfortable on, but way too warm for this time of year. Figures.



I still have white and small bits of the other colours left.

Lace

Over the weekend, I started the Diamond Fantasy Shawl by Sivia Harding and finished it up yesterday in a long scarf version. I had one skein of STR medium in Bella Coola - so that is what I used.

Here is what it looks like blocking.


Not having any fancy blocking equipment, I had to settle for my Clover daisy headed pins and an old mattress pad.



I had almost 10 yards left, so perhaps I could have knit 2 more rows?

Suggestions needed

I should be able (finally) to post the completed Tubey (shall we say March?) in the next couple of days.

My eldest got married a couple of weeks ago. Given the issues and vagrancies of German regs, she and her guy went up to Denmark.

As a result, they are looking at doing something this fall.

Obviously she needs a shawl.

Any suggestions for something reasonably elegant that is doable in less than a year?

Did Someone Say Fickle?

I confess that, like Michelle, I am also a fickle knitter. Instead of continuing work on Muir I cast on the Susan Undulating Waves Scarf from Schaefer Yarn Co.

I have also been working on socks a lot the last few days--but no lace ones!

Michelle, your shawl is going to be beautiful. I love the colour and have considered buying it for myself in the past.

Hyacinth

Ok, I started early, but didn't make it far!
This is Evelyn Clarke's Hyacinth...I love the pattern so far!

Ladies of lace

Welcome June, of official beginning of 2 months of lace a long!
I hope you all have your projects picked out and are ready to cast on...I, being such a fickle knitter have changed my mind and decided to work on my Hyacinth shawl. Photos soon.
Is everyone else ready?
