This Lady Knits

My camera and I found some time together this evening, so finally I’m posting a few pics.

First is this beautiful fiber from Sachi’s Purls.

The colorway is Berry Basket and it’s superwash Merino hand dyed by our own Sachi. She’s posted some pics from our weekend BBQ, so go ahead and check them out.

Really there has been knitting around here, and even finishing, and here’s the proof.

Pattern Sahara, by Wendy Bernard, available at Stitch Diva

Yarn: SWTC Bamboo (100 G & 250 yards) color way is 521 SAH

Needles: good old reliable Addi Turbo’ #4 & #6 and Addi lace #4

Mods: The usual to bring it down to a size that would not be way to long. I did screw up a little this time around, I stopped too short and had to rip back the hem and add another 2 inches. I forgot that if one stretches a fabric from side to side, the material has to come from somewhere.

It seems I got so busy yesterday at work, that I forgot my Wed post. So here’s a brief round up of what went to knitting last night.

• Dad’s shirt – it got ignored
• Marilinda socks, a pattern by Cookie A designed exclusively for Scout’s Sock Club. I’m actually knitting these socks on DPN’s. Don’t choke, I really do know how to use DPN’s. The pattern is such that I can’t reasonably expect to knit both socks on 1 circ, heck I can’t even really split the pattern out to knit 1 sock on circs.
• Soy Silk Shrug.

I am half way though Clue 6 on the MS3 shawl. I am simply amazed that there are not only several women who have finished, but several that have finished more than 1.
Yes I am remaining fairly faithful to the projects I’ve got OTN, but I have a feeling that’s going to change in the near future, I have an urge to cast something new on. Oh I did do a quick little project, but I can’t really share that with you until it reaches the recipient. She’ll know it when she gets it, but if she could please let me know, I didn’t realize until after I had dropped it off at the post office, that I forgot to leave an explanation with it or any of the details. She’ll know who she is when she gets it *wink* and I know she reads this blog at least once in a while, hehe.
