I finished my waistcoat, and it looks just wonderful, and I am so, so pleased with it
But we didn't go to the Tweed run. it was BEASTLY hot, 27 degrees, and not even remotely resembling tweed weather! now it is though, it's lovely and crisp and I should go for a ride tomorrow.
after marathoning the waistcoat I am just frazzled and so I'm not knitting anything strenuous for the alphabet Kal this month. I'm knitting a lace cowl in fine alpaca, and I'm renewing my love for the fibre. it's so soft! and very warm, warmer than wool is. I've got quite a lot of alpaca laceweight and I am not sure what i'll do with it. I have ... 2400 yards in a deep charcoal grey? which is a fantastic amount. I would love to make a gloriously dramatic stole out of it. with sleeves. so this fabulously drapey gorgeous lace...I'll have a look round ravelry and see what there is to see.
I'm also quite thrilled because I put up a picture of my port elizabeth cowl in progress and it's now featured on the pattern page! that's the first time I've ever had my work featured. it's quite exciting!
I'm still not finished my first weeping angels sock. Poor thing! It's in my bag as bus knitting and I haven't gone anywhere. I have so many projects on the needles and three of them are cowls, two of them are socks - I am absurd! i shouldn't be so scatty.
