OMGoodness, can u believe it, Iāve got 2 projects on the needles!!! Yes, I know⦠:shock: UNBELIEVABLE :shock: !!! I couldnāt help myself, I had to knit something with the yummilicious Bamboo yarn that Lonnie gave me for our anniversary. So, I put down the socks (2nd sock, not quite done :shock: ) and began knitting the Leaf Lace scarf found in spring/summer 2005 Vogueknitting (itās the pink one in the middle). This is a very fun knit, Iāve altered the pattern a bit by using Annie Modesittās double knit edge stitch (used in Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style & Alisonās Scarf (pdf file)) which keeps the scarf from curling inwardā¦Annie is a genious with such things
Iām off to knit
Leaf Lace Scarf
I think the scarves in the latest issue are so pretty! I ordered some lace yarn from Knit Picks and just got it in the mail the other day. I plan to knit at least one of those scarves. I LOVE knitting lace. :XX:
Looks great so far! I tried to be a monogamous knitter and that just didnāt happen!
I love your outdoor pictures of knitting!
Thanks! Celine, which yarn did you get from knitpicks? Iāve used alpace cloud before, it was quite nice. I will admit that I love knitting lace design, but Iām not very good with lace wt yarn :rollseyes:
LOL, Iāve always been monogamous with whatever art/craft that Iāve done, I get all weird with more than one project going @ the same timeā¦itās bugging me now that Iāve got 2 goingā¦WHATāS UP WITH THAT?! :rofling: :roflhard: But, AHHHHHHH, this bamboo is just too fun to knit with; I think that I could knit with SWTC yarns forever
You are shocking me with two projects on the needles!!! I guess you canāt depend on anything anymore in this crazy world :roflhard:
It is beautiful yarn Rebecca and I can see why you wanted to use it. That happens to me too.
:shock: I KNOW :shock: Itās killing me, I canāt do it for longā¦how do yaāll survive with so many things going @ one time, Iād be a complete WRECK :roflhard: :rofling: Iām helpless, am I really a knitter?!
Oh, it is such yummmmmmmy yarn, Iām taking my time knitting this scarf bc itās such fun to knit with this yarn
That looks incredible so far! I love the colors. [size=2](And they match so nicely with the mulch! :rofling: )[/size] Canāt wait to see it finished!
Now that Iāve picked myself up off the floor from the shock⦠this is the second time in less than 2 weeks that youāve had 2 projects going⦠I feel the fabric of the space/time continuum beginning to shred⦠:roflhard:
Great looking scarf BTW!
That yarn is gooooooooorgeous!
And HOW do you knit only one thing at a time? HOW? :??
GORGEOUS!!
:??
Two projects at the same time? :fingerwag:
Iām shocked, shocked, to discover this! :rofling:
I know what you mean about the siren song of some new yarn though. I got some KP Alpaca Cloud a week or so ago, so I can make Mom a Candle Flame Shawl⦠Iāve got so many WIPs right now Iām running out of cables for my Boyeās set (maybe itās a good time to get those rainbow Deniseās). Iām trying to be firm with myself and finish something before I start the shawl, but every time I touch that yarn I just want to start knitting with it!
Well, your newest project looks likes itās gonna be incredible, enjoy it.
Rebecca, I bought the lace yarn called āShimmerā from Knit Picks. I got the āHappy Danceā color choice. Has rasberry, pale yelow and orange in itā¦very pretty and colorful. :happydance:
Somewhere in one of my newer knitting magazines I saw a choice of three beautiful lace scarves. I think I will end up using it on one of them.
Right now Iām knitting a Noro handbagā¦so when thatās done Iāll start the scarf. I have two projects on needles now and I seem to do well when I have two projects going. More than that and I end up losing interest in one of them. :XX: :XX:
Wow, your scarf looks beautiful. I love the double-knit edging⦠thatās such a clever idea!
Do you do K1, sl1wyif, k1 on the right side or the wrong side?
Ooh gorgeous! I love all these nice patterns everyone is doing lately
Thanks everyone! Bamboo is just a joy to knit with, the colors in this yarn are just stunning, the color is called āparrotā and it looks exactly like a parrot, I have a parrotlet with the same coloring, itās just beautifulā¦I LOVE IT, gotta have more of it, I want all colorsā¦a new addiction
LOL, I am stunned that I have 2 wipās on the needles, I donāt know how yaāll can do it with so many goingā¦Iād be nuttier than usual :roflhard: :rofling:
Celine, is it the same Vogue knitting from spring/summer 2005?
Kristi, this is Annie Modesittās answer to scarves rolling inward & it works like a charm. I 1st discovered it knitting Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style, but since itās readily available online with the Alisonās Scarf pattern (pdf file) I will share it with you: on every RS rowās 1st and last 3 sts: k1, slip 1 wyif, k1; on every WS rowās 1st & last 3 sts: slip 1 wyif, k1, slip 1 wyif Itās very easy to get into the groove doing this st combo & the edges look wonderfulā¦Annie Modesitt is the KNITTING QUENN
YUM! That yarn is gorgeous. Is it SWTC bamboo or something else?
Girl, you know itās SWTC I LOVE SWTC
Beckaāthanks for sending us to all those great online patternsālove love free patterns!!
That is just so pretty!!
That is so pretty! I love those colors!
