Fence

Not only I finished Fence and I love it (you may remember that this is the third incarnation of this yarn), but given the weird weather, I even got to wear it:


Pattern: Fence by Maria Leigh from Knotions, Winter 2008
Yarn: Aurora 8 by Karabella

Ravelry page here.

Last four days of 2009

4 days days and 13 WIP's. Not that I think that I will cast off 13 FO's in 4 days, but I do wonder how many needles I can free in 96 hours. I would at least love to finish my December Shawl so to complete my 12 patterns for 2009 (I am pretty surprised that I have not given up on that!)

Second project in the run is one of the following (so that I can complete 4 of the 12 sweaters in 2009):

Ingenue: I just ripped back to the waist shaping and I need to lengthen the sleeves too

Fence: better known as the cursed vest

White Sparking Shrug: that Principessa needs soon anyway

Five on Friday

Thanks to the long weekend, I accomplish a lot this week.

I photographed new yarns and posted them on etsy:



I published a pattern:

Five on Friday

I know I skipped last Friday, but I pledge first week of school insanity. Let's see of I can come up with five thing.

I posted two new yarns on etsy:





I frogged my Karebella Lace Vest (yes, it is cursed!), but I already picked another pattern for the yarn (I am sticking to a vest.)

Oh, and my July pattern is done (we won't talk about the fact that it is September.)
