Update on What’s On The Needle AND Cats

ONGOING PROJECTS:

Yellow Shawl ~ Berroco Ultra Alpaca Yellow (4 skeins), hazelnut stitch pattern:  Still needing a set or two of pattern rows. After which I’d still need to do the dreaded finishing touches.

 

Blue Malabrigo Scarf ~ herringbone stitch pattern; but it’s a freestyle pattern as I go. There’s no definite pattern on this one. Am a little ticked off with myself because I cannot find another skein of this color. I love the color, but am kicking myself for not getting more than 1 skeins. Due to this reason, the scarf project is at a stalemate, but definitely a UFO at this point. 

 

Blue Cardi ~ Patagonia Araucania Nature Cotton Yarn (4 skeins instead of 5 called for in Kirsten Kapur’s pattern): I should have already finished this cardigan, but am mulling as to what I can change the edges with instead of the 2×2 rib edging that Kirsten called for. Maybe I will make the edges a bit lacy.

If you have not noticed at all, I am into all LACE projects lately. I just love anything lace. And actually, with near future projects in the planning stage, one of them is very ambitiously big; at least to me.

NEW PROJECTS:

 

Frost Flowers Lace Scarf ~ Lavish Lace Book by Carol Rasmussen Noble/Cheryl Potter, Malabrigo Lace Hummingbird (2 skeins): I’m debating if the outcome of the stitch pattern with this type of yarn is worth it. Am not too happy with it and might change my mind after I complete 1 flower pattern rows. If I find that the pattern would seem too busy with the many variations of the yarn color, I already have an idea what to replace it with, a simple pattern, but would play out the color of the yarn.

NEXT PROJECT PLANNED:

 

Circular Peplum Lace Stitch Vest, Pattern from Norah Gaughan Volume 2 book ~ it calls from Berroco Suede yarn.

BONUS SUBJECT NOT OF KNITTING NATURE:

Last Sunday, I went to check out a local cat show. And here’s what I got out of it:

       

WELL FOLKS, HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
