Hello! It's that time of the week again, and I have a WIP to show off. I am working on a
Croeso, Lace & Cable Shawlette (pattern by Camille Coizy) in
Jill Draper Makes Stuff Mohonk yarn in the Winterfell colorway. I had originally started making a cowl with this yarn, but I was thinking about the shawlette the other day and how I really wanted to make it and didn't have the right yarn - and all of a sudden, I realized I
did have the right yarn! ;-) So the cowl was frogged and a shawlette was born.
I am done with "Part 1" of the shawlette and have inserted my 2nd lifeline (the lifelines are the bits of pink yarn, which will come out when I'm done but in the meantime will prevent me from having to rip the whole thing out if I make a mistake, in theory anyway...). Totally excited about this project. It is by far the most complicated thing I've ever tried to make. Thin yarn (sport weight) on a size 4 (3.5mm) needle with cables and lace, and it started out with a garter tab cast-on, which was totally new to me.
Here's a close-up of the cables so far:
Next section involves me learning how to M1 (I've done it before but not enough that I remember how without looking at a book for instruction). Yay?
Still loving my coffee bean stitch markers, as you can see.
I'm also still working away on a secret crochet project, and I've started making a
Dew Drop Cowl with some fuchsia Queensland Sugar Rush yarn I've had around for a while. It's for the monthly KAL (Knit-Along) with the "Cowls" group on Ravelry. Fun.
I finished my Woods and Water cowl, which came out great. Here's a pic of that one:
I've already worn it once. It is so amazingly soft. I am in love with Malabrigo Rios yarn now. It is beautiful and cuddly and working with it was a joy. I hope I'll get some more soon.
