Firstly, I finished Trellis...
Well, as finished as it gets without adding buttons. But it's blocked and seamed and obviously cute. :) Here are the specs.
Lilac Trellis
pattern: Trellis from knitty.com
yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in Lilac
needles: 4.50 mm (US 7)
The yarn is a dream to work with. So soft and smooth! It's also subtlely colored which looks so nice in the cables. I left it for my mother to give to her friend's daughter's daughter so unfortunately, I myself cannot present it. But no matter.
I put my Grandma's mitered squares on hold... yeah. I nearly finished knitting all the squares, but there's a ton of seaming left... Mreh. I feel kinda sick just thinking about the squares, so let's move on.
Socks! I decided to knit a pair of socks for my sister. She picked the yarn.
Okay, so it looks red, but it's supposed to be orange. Giants rally socks! However, I think the Giants need more than socks to revive their season... -_-
My aunt informed me that on the 16th of this month, my cousin will be having a surprise baby shower. This, too, was a surprise to me. So I ran to Downtown Yarns and picked up some Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (only the best for my cousin's baby!) for a cabled sweater.
(In case you weren't sure, my cousin is expecting a boy.)
And finally, I've started on the Christmas knitting. I decided to knit for my aunt - who's been like a second mother to me - the Tangled Yoke Cardigan from IK Fall '07. I'm using Felted Tweed in wheat. The yarn is lovely and the pattern is beautiful. I just hope the 34" will fit her...
And I picked up a small treat for myself too.
Malabrigo Lace. Don't try to tell me I don't deserve it.
It'll be a Swallowtail Shawl. Can't wait.
The Print o' the Wave is temporarily on hiatus until I get more yarn. That's right. I ran out again. Sigh. So I'm going to rip out the entire border and make the shawl a little longer. I was feeling it was too short anyway.
