Pink!

Pink!

Originally uploaded by BlueEyezz

Finally, something for me. I’m now wearing a black dress to my brother’s wedding. It’s sleeveless and I needed something to cover my shoulders. I’m making this adorable little shrug and I’m soooo excited about it!

The first run was with a black yarn (see previous entry) and I hated how it was turning out. I was doing the lace ALL WRONG at first and I frogged it. I love this color of pink though and I love love love love love this yarn. It’s so freaking soft and stretchy. I think I’ve made it a tad small, but I think with the stretchiness of it all, it’s going to work out JUST fine.

Erm…

I haven’t knitted in over a week. Except to frog the ribbed bolero I started (and I was half done with). I’m restarting it in a different yarn. A different more expensive, but softer yarn. I tried using Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice. Barf. It was too scratchy. Then I decided to change what dress I was wearing to the wedding. I’m now wearing a black dress, so a black shrug was overkill. It’s amazing how fast you can frog a project that took you so many hours to create.

I’m instead using Suri Merino (Plymouth), the suri alpaca/fine merino blend. It’s soft. Cozy. And pink.  And it will be air-i-er than the black one, meaning it will be great for those late summer evenings….

I’ll actually post a picture of that later. I took one. Lol….
