And it's going pretty well. But, lace? Well, you know, it's kind of hard.
So I took a little time off to finish something I had put down a while back.
Pattern: Dolores Park Cowl (rav)
Yarn: Malabrigo merino worsted in sunset
Mods: I used the modifications for worsted weight, and it came out great. I have never been much of a cowl person, but I think I will be now. How can you not wear Malabrigo?
And then of course there was the Portland Knit and Crochet Show this weekend, and I couldn't miss that. I did manage to control myself (although you wouldn't be able to tell from all of the yarn I am about to show you.) I got some bulky, supersoft cotton for a dress for my niece. Regular price? $17. How much? $4!! Holy cow.
Then there was the piles of Happy Feet sock yarn marked down from $18 to $10. So I had to get some of that.
But the best part? I won a door prize! Check it out.
It's a huge skein of hand-dyed, handspun beautiful yarn from Abstract Fibers. It's fabulous!
So, if you live in Portland, make sure you go to the show tomorrow if you haven't already. You might even win a prize.
The final distraction is Hat Attack, which starts this week. It's going to be a blast, I am sure, especially considering that the yarn this year is Therapi from SWTC (It has Jade in it! It's so soft.)
But. I almost hope that I get killed right away because, you know, I better get back to that shawl.
