Reading

I'm sure I'll be adding to this list.

A couple of the culprits that keep me from my duties:

For Jaelynn Steck:

The Baby Bolero is from One Skein.

The hat is based on one in One Skein

Wonders (shortened like my previous one & the

lace pattern altered to match the Bolero detail).

In Jo-Ann Sensations Smania.

Ysolda's Urchin

From an unmarked skein... I'd been looking for a use for this single skein rolling around the stash for years- this was the perfect project for it! I think it looks like moss.
I made another in Adrienne Vittadini Nadia, but I frogged it...I don't think it did the yarn (or the pattern) justice. I need a bigger thick n' thin yarn to make the pretty bubble-y look of the original. I'd still like to make a white (or very light color) version like Ysolda's...

hers looks like clouds.

Seaberry Shell

from Interweave Knits, Summer 2006

It's knit in Caron Simply Soft Quick (Country Blue)... Just barely got by with 2 skeins... I shortened the neckband to do so. This yarn feels soft & drapey pre-knitting, but not so great after... I'm not really fond of non-natural fibers, though. I pretty much hate them. Probably will knit another in another yarn.
The pattern was great except for the neck shaping... very confusing. You could also knit this in the round easily.

I have a couple more, but I need to take pictures still... maybe I should add my neglect in recording my knits photographically that to my list.
