When i’m not weaving, I’m knitting, or trying to knit as the case may be. Back in May, I posted about starting the Moonlight Mile scarf featured in Interweave Press’ scarfSTYLE. In a testament to sheer dogged perserverence, I’ve finally gotten far enough along that I can provide a progress report that’s not laughable. I probably ripped 20 times before [somewhat] mastering this “easy” lace, which is — I believe — based on a pattern called “twisted block.” The good news is …I LOVE THIS PATTERN. And, I LOVE THIS YARN! And, I LOVE THESE NEEDLES, which are by Signature Needle Arts. And no, they are not the needles I started with. I rapidly realized I needed the stiletto points Signature is so known for to conquer the yarnovers. EXPENSIVE needles, but SMART move. Now, only 21 more repeats of this 16 row lace motif to go… perhaps I’ll have it done by the time we leave for our Edwards Fine Art & Sculpture Festival/Downtown Aspen Fine Arts Festival tour in a couple of weeks???
