so as dave pointed out to me today (over he phone) he still has my camera. so i can't share with you my fabulous funky scarf & assorted goodies...or my wonderful warm mittens. how much does tha tsuck? but i will share as soon as i can. just imagine the perfect things to keep me warm when i walked out to clean off the snow from the car this morning (it was 25 degrees out) brrrr!
you all may have noticed that i joined quite a few exchanges this fall. i am happy to report that those mittens wee the last of the exchange knitting and the last ones to get posted. i'm done. the funky scarf is gone as is the ISE3 scarf. the mittens and 2 pair of sockwars socks have been mailed out. i'd be working on another partial pair of those if not for a bit of a postage/idiot knitter snag. but i've received notice that my socks are as good as on their way to me so i think i'm out. whew. and thank good ness it will soon be over. its a little nerve wracking worring about finishing with deadlines. i don't think i could ever knit with harsher deadlines than those of an exchange. my knitting is me time and thats the way its gonna stay for a while...well as soon as i catch up on my xmas knitting. but thats just 2.5 more pair of felted slippers and a stocking cap for my brother. no sweat. and i think i'm gonna have to cast on for a sweater or vest f
i finished up and mailed off my pal's mittens yesterday. i had fun knitting them and hope they will be loved. :) the color looks a little funny (cell phone photo) they're kind of a blueberry violety color. hope that makes sense. anyhoo. they are on their way. the question is are they on the way to YOUR house? :) pattern: my own yarn: reynolds dover superwash wool completed: 10/12/06
i never got around to posting a final image of the ISE3 scarf. it is finished. it is off the blocking board. i'm not completely thrilled with the graft but hey it's mohair i wasn't going to be thrilled i just knew it! and a closeup of the lace pattern. i think the knitting turned out pretty well if i do say so myself :) pattern: branching out yarn: kidseta modifications: knit in two halves and grafted at the neck center. completed: september 22
