Lace has really become my go-to project of choice. It's so amazing how many images one can make with just a few different stitches. This is my Aspen Grove. Here are the specs:
Pattern: Aspen Grove by Miriam Felton
Yarn: Wooly Wonka Fibers Silk/Merino Laceweight
Colorway: Quaking Aspen
Needles: Addi Turbo Lace US 4
Modifications: Miriam describes the trunks as, "twisting, odd trunks of the aspens." I wanted the shawl to represent the pine trees in Southeast Texas: to reach straight to the sky. So I took out most of the twisting and tried to make them as straight as I could.
I loved this pattern - it was a quick knit and not too challenging. The first section involved pattern-work on both sides (right and wrong), but the other two sections has rest rows on the wrong side. So it's a great project for tv time or other brain dead moments.
Before we moved, I completed a pair of socks:
Pattern: Wendy's Generic Toe Up
Yarn: Zitron Trekking (XXL)
Colorway: 104
Needles: KnitPicks Harmony, US 1.5
Extra-big because I want them to fit my little brother's monster feet. They're so soft and squishy - I really do love Trekking. It is so affordable and diverse - I can always find a colorway that I like!
This morning I've been rewatching old episodes of Felicity, organizing my flickr account, and adding books to my library at librarything. Very relaxed and lazy! I need to be looking for jobs though :(
