I have two things on the needles, both for me and both almost at the point of casting off for the armholes. First, the project that gives rise to today's title: Ariann. Not only the pattern, but also the yarn come from our own Bonne Marie, and I borrowed a circular needle from Carolyn to get started. (I scored the yarn in the SuperBowlSundayStashOut some weeks back.) Thanks, guys! I'm really enjoying it, though I rocked through the first ball of yarn like my hands were on fire and have slowed considerably since then. It's such a beautiful lace pattern. I can't wait to wear it.
Project 2 is also a Chicknits classic -- a flat-panel Ribby Shell. I got the pattern ages ago and hadn't yet made it. The yarn is Rowan's Tapestry, which I hadn't even seen until I went to a season-ending sale at Knitting Workshop and bought six bea-you-tee-ful balls of it. The gauge is slightly smaller than called for, so I'm knitting a larger size than I normally would. But I believe it's going to fit nicely. I sure do like the yarn. Soybeans and wool; who knew?
