FO: Frozen Leaves

FOs are falling off my needles faster than leaves drop from the trees in Autumn, or so it seems. The only trouble is that I do not have the time to document them properly right now.

This week’s cursory FO post is Frozen Leaves.

Details and gallery.

FO: Mere

This is my first test knit for Designs by Romi. The shawl pattern is named Merope and is one of a forthcoming set of seven small shawls, all named after the Pleiades.

Merope is available now as a single purchase or as part of the yet-to-be-completed e-book series

FO: Lórien

Lórien was an entirely ad hoc project; I had sorte dout all my projects for the Colourmart Lovers competition KAL and suddebly realised that I needed a ferry knitting project (I’ll discuss the blanket another time.) I had seen the Lórien patterns a while ago on Ravelry a nd it sprang to mind as a candidate. I cast around for some stash to knit it with and my eye fell upon my weaving basket…

Fo: Winter Shawl

A very belated FO post — this shawl was completed ages ago but blocking was deferred.

Mere photos cannot do justice to the handle of this garment. The yarn is so smooth and almost silky – soft, warm, and plumptious. The finished article has both heft and drape – in fact, it almost has sproing. I so wish that I had a crinoline to wear this shalw over. It just begs to be draped in the crook of the arms and dangle over a full skirt…

Second Weaving

For most of this week, I have been completely convinced of my inability to produce an FO post today but lo and behold… I reached Thursday afternoon, the trees cleared, and I finally saw the metaphorical wood. In other words, I whipped that craft room into proper order and had space in which to work.

To be truthful, I do not suppose this really is a finished object; it is a finished weaving, but it has yet to become whatever it is destined to be.

Fo: Moreholeythan

I knocked this scarf up last year as a test for suitability for beginning lace knitters taking part in the All Shawl Together KAL. It made a useful stash buster

Very repetitive and mindless drop stitch pattern but worth the perseverance for a very wearable accessory. It offers so much warmth for so little weight
