Very easy pattern, and a quick knit! This pair is for Mark, for Christmas.
The Friday before Rhinebeck, I was invited to join Ravelry. Ravelry is very fun; it's not a blog, but more of a photo, project, yarn, sharing, chatting site. Basically for those who like to cruise the organizer aisle at their local store, can't get enough of HGTV, or just dream of being organized, it's complete nirvana. Even those who aren't interested in organizing will find themselves cataloging their projects, yarn, size needles, etc. It's like an online knitter's notebook. My name on ravelry is ladysslipper.
Also joined another KAL, Mystic Waters. It's a lace shawl, and clue #1 has been released. The yarn which I chose in Rhinebeck was lighter than the yarn recommended; the yardage was right, but it was 100 grams versus the 200 grams recommended. The swatch and the initial 28 rows seems rather small and lightweight. I'll have to decide whether to use this yarn- and have a lighter and smaller shawl- or shop again for a heavier laceweight yarn. The decision is tougher as this will be my first lace project. It's already freaking me out that there are HOLES in the knitting that are SUPPOSED TO BE THERE! :O
