Look at my cute stitch marker! Doesn't it look like Spike? John got me three for my birthday (a while ago, I just haven't shared them). :D

Ah, Spring Break!
I was going to start my Monday blogging, but I couldn't think of anything to blog about, so I didn't blog. Next week. I'll think of something to say next week. :) I'm going to visit a new yarn shop this weekend, so that'll make a great post.
Today, though, I will fill you in on what's occupying my needles! Same as last week: Bridgewater. I've been working furiously on it while waffling on the width I want the last stripe of my Different Lines to be. I finally had to put it aside so I can finish my Different Lines by Friday! On Bridgewater, I'm 10 rows into the border chart. It's not looking very impressive. I don't know if I need smaller needles or what, but it just kind of looks a mess. I'm also not sure (and too lazy to look up) how to do a psso the right way, so I've been slipping the slipped stitch knitwise sometimes and purlwise other times. the difference isn't extreme, but they all look weird. I think I'll do another 5 rows so I can look at the repeating pattern before I decide to rip it back and go down a needle size. It actually hasn't taken very long to get this far into the border, so it shouldn't be a devastating blow.

Cute stitch marker! Love the yarn, too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too! :D
DeleteLove your stitch marker (and your photo--yummy!)
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are super cute!
DeleteThat will be so pretty when it's done. Did you see the Spring Thaw patterns that got released today? Any patterns you like from there?
ReplyDeleteI did! There were a lot, actually, but the three I queued were Seasons Hat (I've been trying to find a 3 or 4-color fair isle hat for my LOFT, should have known Jared would come through!), Quill, and Exeter, which is sooooooo pretty!!! What about you? Any faves?
DeleteThat yarn is beautiful! In the picture it almost looks like velvet! What is it? I must know.
ReplyDeleteIt's like velvet! It's Alpaca With a Twist Fino, a favorite among the workers at my LYS and beyond! It's 70 % alpaca and 30% silk. This is my first time using it, but I have another Brooklyn Tweed pattern lined up with it in grey.
