Rusted root is blocking as I type this

April 16th, 2007

rusted root blockingI finished all of the knitting on Rusted Root yesterday. Then I promptly tried it on (and took a picture). It fits! i really like the way it fits, in fact. And I love the fabric of the bamboo yarn. As I said, it’s going to be a really nice summer top. Nice and light and airy. Yay! I will wear it this week and take an official “finshed” picture. Stay tuned for that.

Striped border scarf on magnolia treeIn other knitting news, I’ve been knitting away on the Striped Border Scarf from Victorian Lace Today. Incidentally, I had to start the whole thing over last week, after I posted my picture. Instead of doing a “crochet cast-on” I did a “provisional cast-on”. duh. So I decided to take out the yarn when I started on the center part of the shawl and I realized that I had live stitches on the end of my border. It worked out okay. The border just took a few hourst to knit. So I was was back on track in no time.

    That sweater looks fabulous. I’ve seen this pattern on a couple of blogs now and I really would like to knit it.
