Finally!
The body of my Autumn Rose is complete! At this point, I need to weave in ends, graft the arm pits, steek the neck, and knit the neckline. I can't wait until it's done and blocked! It's really going to be beautiful!
I've also started on my Tina Shawl. The center seems like it will be a very fast knit. I'm nearly a third of the way through it now. The outer border and lace edging will be far more time consuming. This is being knit in Knitpicks Lace Shine, in the color Aegean. It's so pretty.
This weekend, I've pretty much hit the jackpot. Through various means, I've obtained copies of some of Alice Starmore's most sought after books. I was in love with In the Hebrides until I got Tudor Roses. I'm smitten. Now I have to decide what patterns I'll knit first.
We were talking Friday night at late night knitting about swaps and such. At that time, I mentioned that I'm a terrible swap partner. I'm so bad about time frames and such, but I feel like I'm missing out. Now, there's an LSG Random Acts of Kindness board. Only active LSGers can participate. Each month, we post a wish list, and people send you stuff as they can. It's totally optional, so I don't have the added pressure of deadlines. I'm doing a bit of stashbusting and I'm going to ship a few things off to better homes this week. My plan going forward will be to pick a person once a month and send stuff out. This should be lots of fun!
