My current work in progress:

1. Modified Peace Socks knit from Alchemy Juniper in the "Dragon" colorway, on 2mm needles.
2. Various stealth projects.

First WIP of 2008

My first project of the new year is this:

Wave Scarf 010208

Wave Scarf 010208

This is a wide scarf that I started New Year’s Eve. I’m knitting it in a traditional shetland lace pattern: crest o’ the wave.

(Great minds think alike — Judy at Smatterings posted about her Crest o’ the Wave Scarf yesterday and posted a free pattern. Mine is pretty much the same — just wider.)

The yarn I’m using is special. :-)

My friend Johanne send me a gorgeous pair of wristwarmers for Christmas, knit from some hand-dyed yarn.

Look at how beautifully the beads match the yarn!

Anyhow, she asked the artist to dye some laceweight to match and sent that to me for my birthday (yes, today is my birthday). Thanks, Johanne!

So I’m making a nice wide scarf to match my wristwarmers. That’s my plan for today: knit and watch television. Hey, it’s my birthday after all. I can do what I want.

Lucy wishes that I would want to turn on the heat — it’s gotten cold. I think I’ll oblige her.

    Happy birthday, and many knitterly returns. :) The shawls are gorgeous!

    Thanks again for the tip about Nature’s Yarns. I’m really digging the place.

    Hope you have a wonderfully lazy day!

    Happy Birthday! That’s a lovely scarf. It looks like it can handle a variegated yarn too. I’ll have to remember that.

    Happy Birthday Wendy!! Getting in just under the wire, I hope your day was wonderful!

    I have a Diet Yoke Q for you….as a DC connoisseur, have you ever had Coke Zero and if so, what’s your opinion?
