A New Venture

Oh dear, it's summer and I've succumbed again .... Last summer my friend Liz -- well I thought she was a friend! -- got me involved in the MS3 -- my first lace knitting project -- and I've never looked back. MS3, which is now known as Swan Lake was a Mysery Stole Knit A Long (MS KAL) -- and a combination of frustration and challenge, and ultimately triumph as I finished the project - a little late, true, but by no means was I the last to finish.

That was fine, but MS3 was followed by Secret of Chryopolis (not quite half finished and still OTN) and then Anna's three "Mystic" Mysteries -- all finished! And just for good measure I tucked in Melanie's (creator of MS3) "Leda's Dream" which was actually MS1 - but I wasn't knitting lace then ...

And now MS4 is in the sign up stage, and of course, my name is on the list -- even though I'm not quite halfway through Moni's Dem Fischer sin Fru shawl .... (Moni's also the creator of Secret of Chrysopolis, and several other lovely designs)

Perhaps instead of "Musings" this should be "Confessions of an MS KAL-aholic!" Whatever else, it guarantees that the summer and fall won't be lacking for knitting stimulus..... Did I mention that I also signed up for Secret of the Stole (SOTS) III??????
