I thought I'd share a few o' the projects on the needles (All of which, by the way, are messin' with my mojo 'cause I'm not super stoked about any of them.)
Behold the Apple Leaf Cloth. In the picture it doesn't really look so bad, but I'm not real happy with it in real life. I should have used a smoother cotton. Bernat Cotton Tots has a little nubbiness to it that I'm not liking. The pattern calls for a fingering weight, but it seems fine with worsted...as long as it is smooth. I also think I need to work on my M1s (is there a way to increase so it's a purl stitch?) It is just a dishcloth so I guess the work is passable.
This is my take on the Top Down Raglan Baby Sweater. I love the pattern. I love the yarn. I should have started with smaller needles for the neck and then switched to larger, but like the dishcloth, it's passable knitting.
One of the reasons I'm not a big fan of lacy knits is that they look so crappy on the needles. This is going to be nice when it's blocked, but until then, I have to keep telling myself that everything is ok. This is the Brandywine Shawl aka March Goal. I'm using Dream in Color Smooshy in Ruby River (which I did not photograph well...no surprise there, huh?)
I'm just plugging away on them.
