KAL news:
Lacy days of Summer KAL running through Sept 30th. To enter go to the Ravelry group and join and post finished objects in the thread. All that is required to participate is finished project with lace weight yarn or pattern with predominant lace detail.
Prizes for the kal are a medium drawstring bag and stitch markers.
Finished objects:
40’s style blouse, from Gertie Sews Vintage Casual. Made in a red polka dot. This is the first time I did a blouse with buttons and collar.
Turned out great!!
HO:
Kandahar socks from Soctopus. Yarn Art Yarns in Frost Flower color. Using US Size 1 chiagoo
Wips:
Ella Cardigan. Anzula Breeze Dusty Rose. Worked all the way to the end of the raglan decreases and realized that I made a mistake in the placement of the sleeves and will now have to rip back and redo…ARGHHHH! Oh such is life.
Rodin Cardigan: Yarn: Imperial Columbia 2ply color Pearl Grey on US Size 11, making size for 24 ¾ inch back width, should give me a 23 inch back width. My gauge is about one stitch more than the pattern suggests.
Acquisitions:
Imperial Columbia 2 ply Pearl Grey (7 skeins)
Dobbie Mystery kit from Oh loops! 2 skeins of yarn one is Fashion knot: Dobbie is Free
One skein of Perfection Knot in Loyal Companion colorway. Kit came with tea and a pattern, a bunch of coupon codes for me to use.
