Purple elegance

Some time ago I bought a skein of gorgeous Drops Lace yarn, a blend of mulberry silk and baby alpaca, in a lovely purple color. I thought of making something for myself, but every time I took that skein into my hands I remembered purple is not really my color. Which is a pity, because this is some really gorgeous yarn. Oh, well, I can still have fun working with it, I don't have to wear it. So I made this, an elegant evening stole knitted in an Estonian lace pattern. And I'm loving the result.

And funny thing is it doesn't look bad on me:)

Stormy sky

Well, it's actually denim blue, but stormy sky sounds so much better, right?:) Anyway here's something new: silk and alpaca lace wrap. Supersoft, warm and cozy, perfect for chilly evening, or really cold winter day.

Cowl season is near

Leftovers knitting continued. I had these three half-skeins of different blues and I couldn't decide what to turn them into. And after fine wool on fine needles I needed a different project, something chunky, quickly growing, one day tops. So this happened:

I love the result. The three blues turned into turquoisy melange, and the cowl practically made itself. Tripple thread is rather chunky, so it requires large needles. All it took was one evening.

Then there were two: stripy black and white with shimmering metallic thread, and grey melange. Not as chunky as the first one, but also a lot of fun. It turned a bit ombre:)

Ans it sparkles!

Two small scarves

Yarn cleaning:) I'm going through boxes of leftover from previous projects and trying to use it all somehow. Sometimes I get lucky and there is enough for a serious, though small project. Like these:

Both were made with fine wool and they're very light and delicate. It was fun to make them.
