  • pattern: belle shrug

    Thanks to all who’ve helped me destash. Still some great stuff left!

    In the meanwhile, a new design and pattern:

    Belle Shrug

    The “Belle” shrug is a light and comfy shrug knit in one piece from cuff to cuff, with a decorative ruffled (but not *too* ruffled) lace edging. Knit with 7 skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca and Silk.

    Pattern (and yarn) available from lettuce knit in Toronto – we do lots of mail order too!

    These papers are killing me. Two more weeks…

  • old socks, new yarn

    tuscany socks

    I finished the Tuscany (Lorna’s Laces) socks a loooong time ago but never blogged them! They’re just basic socks, 68 sts on 2mm needles, 3×1 ribbing and normal heel flap. I made them for the boyfriend’s brother, who wore them to an important interview…and got the job!

    In new yarn news, the Rowan Pure Wool DK that I got awhile back for the short-row fair isle in Loop-d-loop:

    rowan pure wool DK

    The main colours are the light pink and dark pink/red. I was a bit disappointed with the light pink colour at first but I think it’ll all work out. Some swatching is in order, of course, and I can always just supplement with other colours if needed.

    I’ll be having a BIG handspun destashing sale tomorrow. Stay tuned!
