Holy Knitting!

I had a short but very enjoyable visit from Kelly today. She abandoned Koko yet again. We ate good food (if I don't say so myself), and knit while we watched some home reno shows.

(For aao: the funny coloured yarn at the bottom is just waste yarn that will be removed when I go back and pick up the stitches.)


Today's only downside was the snow. You, Mr. Snow, can go away!

There's been half a dozen robins hopping around my backyard today so I know spring will return.



The Addi lace needles are amazing. I highly recommend them for all you lace knitters. The pointy tips are a big help and they're smooth like you expect Addis to be but not slippery and they're almost completely silent. They're worth every penny.

The Year of Lace

Dear Readers: So sorry for blocking your comments and not providing a picture yesterday. Something went wonky! Please proceed!

This is definitely the Year of Lace for me.

Here we have the beginning of the Estonian Garden Wrap; a gigantic piece of lacework that will likely take me months to complete. That psychedelic coloured yarn is the provisional cast-on and I'm knitting with those new, fancy, dancy addi lace needles.
