News, Updates, Catching up, Overdue...

Local news: Shaw festival knitted vest. Check this article that if found on Ravelry, about the local theatre and a lovely lady who works with wardrobe there, and who I met at the fabulous (although too brief in existance) Serendity Yarns (we miss you). Thought some of you might be interested. The knitter used fingering weight yarn, and the actor is not a small man by any means, and she even steeked, although they do not use the term in the piece.

I have several projects on the go, and none completed, so here they are in their various states of done-ness...

The seed-rib raglan cotton stretch in a deep aqua colour... back done and front almost to shaping. It is a snug, stretchy fit and a colour I love.

The Noro Silver Thaw coat. Double breasted with seed stitch lower half and stocking upper, and seed stitch edging. Easy, fast and fabulously Noro.

The placemats from Debbie Bliss' Premier Issue. A beautiful book full of classic Bliss. Lots of ideas and wonderful photos and inspiration. The placemats are from 3 worsted weight stash yarn held together and it looks great. I will make one more at least, depending how deep my stash goes in these yarns! Pattern will follow for the raglan pullover.....
