Not meaning to overshadow our recent post, I have to recount this evening at Panera’s.  We had a fabulous “show-and-tell” night. Mary, Emily, Linda, and I all had recent FOs to share! Mary brought a beautiful baby hat and sweater, Emily was putting the finishing touches on something very special for a Christmas gift and had blocked two shawls, Linda finished her Ponchette, and I showed off my newly completed Ballerina. We leafed through a number of “new” pattern books (some not newly published, but new to us) and of course Knitting Nature. It was a very fun evening — I really didn’t want to leave but my daughters finally dragged me away. Away to start a new project that is! After trying on Linda’s Ponchette I had to cast on with the Lorna’s Laces Lion and Lamb we acquired on the trip. It is absolutely gorgeous; 50% merino and 50% silk, worsted weight. Once I get it going I’ll post a picture. Woo hoo! I am really back!
PS: Picture of the Ponchette. I got this far last evening and then ripped it all out because I decided to use an 8 instead of a 7 needle.Â
Ponchette: “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful!” I don’t hate you, I LOVE you!
