Ring of Lace

Pattern:

Ring of Lace

Yarn:

Schaefer Yarn Company/Toni Morrison colorway, purchased at Sophie's in Louisville.

9/23/09 used knitted cast on. Beautiful color, and I will have enough yarn to make two of these! 10/7/09 BEAUTIFUL!!! Love the color! Have to block and then will post pic. Great pattern. 10/11/09 As beautiful as this yarn is, it’s silk and just doesn’t block out like wool does. It’s pretty, beautiful colors, but all that lace work need to show up and silk just doesn’t have the memeory that wool does. I’m not loving this and won’t make a second one in silk, I’ll make it in wool….I’ll find something else to do with the rest of the skein.

Side to Side Skirt

Pattern: DROPS Skirt

Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fine, used almost all of two cones (big butt)

Easy pattern! Saw a great modification at: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Lilia/115-41-skirt-in-fabel-knitted-from-side-to-side-with-shortened-rows Love it and I’m going to use her idea! I added 6 stitches to waist band for a casing for elastic, I don’t like skirts without a waist band, and this pattern doesn’t have one….WTF? I will still have the opening with buttons at the waistband, but elastic will keep it in place. (NO wardrob malfunctions here!)

9/27/09 Sewed up the side seam, will sew the waistband tonight and insert the elastic, have to find buttons and then done! 9/30/09 Finished!
