a skirt, a shawl, a sweater, and a dress
Each Wednesday I post little snippets about the projects I’m working on.
You can see all of the Wednesday posts here.
I added another 10 rows or so to the lace shawl I’m knitting out of Julie Asseline’s beautiful “Merletto” lace weight yarn.
I got through the the striped section of the first sleeve on my Versio Sweater.
I was planning on working both sleeves simultaneously, by finishing a stripe on one sleeve, then working that same stripe on the second sleeve. But when it came down to it, I went the route that gave me fewer ends to weave in…
I’m working on a pleated skirt for The Self-Made Wardrobe Project. I absolutely adore the idea, but I’m hoping it doesn’t look too much like a tablecloth.
And I spent about 9 hours this weekend putting my latest jersey wrap dress through the rigors of train travel and it held up beautifully.
finishing, restarting, ripping
The body of my Versio sweater is done, and I’m hoping to pick up for the sleeves tonight. My plan is to work them simultaneously, working stripe A on the right sleeve then stripe A on the left sleeve. I’m cutting it close on yardage, and will probably need to pick up a second skein of the black “Forest Hills,” but hopefully I’ll make it.
Remember this shawl? From weeks and weeks and weeks ago?
It was my main knitting project through the stomach problems, and the bedbug situation. Simple, straight forward, stockinette, half circle. I finally got it back on the needles, and have figured out what I want to do for the bottom edging. yay.
And Julie Asselin posted her fall colorways on instagram & in her Ravelry group, so I can show off the beautifulness that is the colorway “Anemone.” I’m working away on this new design and loving it – though I did need to rip a couple rows last night, which is why the stitches aren’t all sitting on the needle correctly…
a sweater, a shawl, and a tangle of jewelry
The sweater I was swatching for last week is flying along. I’m a little worried about running out of yarn, which always makes me knit faster, like if I knit fast enough I’ll be able to out knit my yardage (as silly as that sounds). More pictures and information on the pattern, yarn, etc. in this post.
I started a new shawl in a skein of Julie Asselin’s “Merletto” it’s in one of her new fall colorways. I don’t want to spill the beans too early (hence the black & white photo), but it’s absolutely beautiful! I love collaborating with yarnies and I’m so glad Julie provided yarn support for this shawl!
And I managed to untangled a pile of jewelry. The apartment is basically back together (after the painting and the bedbugs) but there are still little bags of things here and there, (like my jewelry.)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go back to pouring all my free time into my sweater.
