Lace and More Lace

Last weekend we did some used bookstore hopping and I ended up with some very good books. I especially like Country Weekend Knits, even tho the Aran patterns are not charted. The designs all look very classy, and I will just have to figure out how to knit from the written stitch patterns.


By popular demand, here is the 14 feet scarf on human model. Doesn't look that long, does it? I have been wearing it doubled up and it goes very well under a jacket.


Next up, a sweater! I bought this pack of pink yarn a few years ago at Stitches, Webs booth I believe. Lately it keeps popping up, so it will become a very lady-like lacy sweater. The pattern is called High-Low Peplum Pullover.


Speaking of Stitches, anyone reading my blog will be there?
Happy Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blogTami's blog, and leave me a comment!

Your scarf is amazing! I love how it drapes and the length just accentuates the beauty.

I love the pullover pattern. Can't wait to see you make it.

I can make a chart for you -- which one you want to knit? The scarf looks great. Also, that yarn? Yummy!

Beautiful scarf :) I thought mine was long a 7feet! It's funny how they seem so much shorter when they're draped around your neck, isn't it?!

Melissa said...

Wow, fourteen feet....amazing. I think the sweater will be wonderful out of that pink.

I am a total book fiend, those pattern books look so appealing, such a nice addition to your library. The scarf is really impressive! Can't wait to see the pink knitted up.

Those are some wonderful books. The prospective of this latest scarf photo really shows how long it truly is! Woah! It looks so pretty though!

I can't wait to see your new sweater. That's a fabulous pattern and in that pink it will be stunning on you. Hurry up! I wanna see it. Oh, and give that little Rascal a scratch and a sniff for me and LittleDog.
