So I stole my roommate's camera (muahuahua!). And now, I bring you an extremely late update featuring three very lovely, overdue FOs.
Juniper Print o' the Wave
pattern: Print o' the Wave Stole by Eunny Jang
yarn: Zephyr Wool/Silk in Juniper, 2 balls
needles: 43.50 mm (US 4) 36" Addi Turbos
This project, as some of you may know, has been an utterly epic one for me. It began in May when I bought the yarn as a gift to myself for finishing my finals and my papers. It was always meant to be a Print o' the Wave stole, but apparently, 630 yards is not enough. I did calculations and was actually feeling rather smart. I thought I figured out how to maximize my yardage and still have enough to make a good sized stole.
Little did I know that when it was all said and done, I'd have ripped out the edging three times. Yes you read that right. I ripped out thousands of stitches three times. As a testament to the yarn, it survived every frogging very admirably. It's also a testament to my patience... or stupidity.
But it was worth it. The finished product is gorgeous, and I adore it. The yarn is beautiful, but I'm convinced it ripped off the finishing of my needles. Severe ugh.
In terms of mods, as you can tell I didn't do the grafting. I knit 27 repeats of the center and picked up 64 stitches on the short side and 200 on the long side.
Noro Striped Scarf
pattern: 1x1 ribbing, switch yarns every two rows
yarn: Noro Silk Garden, 4 balls in two colorways
needles: 5.00 mm (US 8) Clover straights
This is basically brooklyntweed's thing with a few minor adjustments. I wanted more drape, so I went up a needle size. So it wasn't ridiculously wide, I cast on only 35 stitches.
It's long. It's nearly 7 feet... maybe it is! I don't know... couldn't measure. But it could have been longer. I finally decided enough was enough and bound off.
I adore the colors. This will be a great way to add some pop during the grey winter days, don't you think?
Rustic Shedir
pattern: Shedir by Jenna Wilson
yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed - 1 ball
needles: 3.25 mm (US 3) aluminum dpns
I didn't even blog about starting this. It quite literally took me 3 days. And just in time for the winter!
That's all for now. There's lots of progress on the Tangled Yoke front (one sleeve done!), and even some on the experimental front. Christmas is quickly nearing.
