Scarf with No. 20 Edging
Victorian Lace today
Lacey Lamb in super brightest blue ever made
Size 3 needles

Started October 4(?), 2008
Finished November 17, 2008

This scarf traveled from Florida to Virginia, back to Florida, then to New York, back to Florida and now is on its way back to Virginia. Of course, hardly any progress was made on those trips, but I still like keeping track of where my knitting has gone.

I made this for my school's auction. The last two years I've made the same baby outfit for this because that baby outfit is really fast, and I never remember until the last minute. This time I remembered, but it still ended up being done at the last minute.

The strangest thing was trying to figure out a value for this. How do you value hand knits? The yarn is worth about $15, but the time...

so...close.

Almost done. I can't wait to block this sucker.

I started knitting again. Maybe it's the cool weather (cool meaning high 70s), or maybe it's because it's near Christmas and I've started thinking about presents. Not really sure.

Anyway, the last two years I've made a baby jacket for my school's auction and this year I started early so I could make something way better. Since I love knitting lace, I started a scarf from Victorian Lace Today. I'm using Lacey Lamb, probably the thinnest yarn I've ever used. It's bright bright blue, and I love it.



I'm working on the melon shawl again, and hopefully will get it done before it gets too cold so my mom can actually use it this year. I think I'm near 50 of 70 repeats of the center, and then there will be edging to do - my favorite part of making lace shawls.

This morning I made an Odessa. It's still wet from blocking, so pictures will be taken tomorrow. It's for a birthday present for someone I don't know at all - hopefully she will like it. It's an easy pattern but so pretty at the end, more about that later.
