Christmas Eve found me with a few minutes to spare, and so I cast on for the Lady of the Lake Jacket. This is the project with the recycled yarn from the Garter Stitch Jacket that almost was. As you can see, it is growing quickly. I am much happier with the colour combo this time around. It still needs the sleeves and the collar -- AND to be blocked ... I don't like the length of their model, or the length of the sleeves of their model, so will address some of that in the blocking (and some in the knitting -- sleeves will definitely be longer. It's hard to see the shape and the details -- maybe when it's finished I'll master the fine art of photographing it to better advantage. And when it is done then it will be time for ...... well, I'll wait and see.
I wound the yarn for my Firestarter Socks. Now I really must free up some needles so that I can cast on and begin to knit them. They'll be my first toe up socks, so should be an interesting adventure for the New Year!
I took a picture of Den Fischer Sin Fru Shawl since it is obvious (to me anyway!) that this will not be re-blocked in the foreseeable future. It's still not the best picture since I tossed it down and took the picture without benefit of blcoking wires. But here she is. It has taken me ages to get this photo taken. Tidying up for the New
Year!And now, it's time for me to get back to my knitting needles! Happy New Year! May 2009 be a year rich in blessings.
