Knit Progress

PICTURE OF THE DAY



Here's some pictures of my boys enjoying iPods, playstation and, of course, kitties...






I've been busy working on Kiri and am now on the edging. I hope to have it completed in the next couple of days. The pictures posted here are about a week and a half old, with 9 1/2 repeats completed.





I started the Frost Flowers & Leaves shawl from "Gathering of Lace." I'm using KnitPicks Alpaca Coud in Peppermint. I've only completed 28 rounds, however, because I really want to finish Kiri. I can't wait to get back to this, though. I really love lace and have become totally addicted.




I'm also working on the Splitz Top from Knit 'N Syle, but that has taken the back burner while I work on Kiri. I'm knitting this in the round rather than front and back separately. This top will probably take forever because I am in my lace phase and wish I had not started this project. I'll have to finish it though. Otherwise, I'll feel too guilty. (I already have a pair of incomplete socks that I really need to set my mind to finishing).

USM Pullover Completed

I finished the Union Square Market Pullover. It came out a little big on me, so it will probably just be something I wear around the house. Oh, well. The sleeves are long, and the bell shaping makes them seem even bigger.




I also decided to FINALLY block my Field of Flowers shawl. This was the first lace shawl I had ever made. I began it in October 2002, and only just finished it about 6 months ago. I figured it was finally time to block it and make it an officially completed object.





Here's a couple pictures of the gang - Adam, Jazz-Purr and Jacob & Cleo. Scooter was too shy this time to have her picture taken. The big question is - will Adam get his hair cut for Jacob's Bar Mitzvah???
