I finished the owls and finished about 1 1/2 inches of the next 7 or so inches I need to knit before this is completed. Thankfully it is all stockinette from here on out...which I can do fairly easily while holding Aiden. :o)I also decided to cast on another project from my YoP List: The Special Occasion Scarf. This is going to be a Christmas gift for my Grandma (no telling Sheila!) My grandma, a hip 60-something year old, loves to wear black. Don't get me wrong, she looks great! However, I try my best to get her to wear some color! Last year for Christmas, I made her a warm fuzzy scarf in...you guessed it...white and black. NOT this year! This year it is going to be lace and lavender!
This is also my first "lace" project...when I looked through the pattern and read"begin lace pattern" I almost kaboshed it! But decided to conquer the first of many knitting fears...(also included, but not limited to: sweater\cardigans, entrelac, fair isle, and many more). One thing at time...What are\were your biggest knitting "fears"? Did you conquer them? Tell me about it!
Good luck with your first lace project. The colour you've chosen should look beautiful with that pattern. Hope grandma likes it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the lace. Loving the other project, very pretty color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest knitting fear is trying to knit lol. I can't knit but good luck with trying the lace.x
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fine with lace; just do yourself a favour and run occasional lifelines. If I screw up lace I find it impossible to fix unless I just rip back to a lifeline.
ReplyDeleteI love your owls and good luck with your scarf, I love knitting lace and your right to give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteUnravelling and unknitting here. But I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteLovely owls, and good luck with the shawl!
That owlie sack is very cute!
ReplyDeletelove your little owls, they look gorgeous so far :)
ReplyDeleteIt's looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy greatest knitting fear? Socks! They appear to be addictive and I'm afraid to try to make any until I have completed my YoP projects incase I become completely derailed :)
Owls are adorable! And, yes, lace is intimidating but persevere - it's an amazing accomplishment and will take you to the next level of your skill!
ReplyDeleteThe owls are looking great and the purple yarn is very pretty. I try to tell myself that nothing is impossible, just follow the pattern one step at a time doing exactly what it says and you will be fine (check for errata first though!)
ReplyDeleteOwls! I love that little owl cable it always looks just so cute!
