Winter warmers
The weather here has turned blustery and wintry. Perfect weather for encouraging me to finish Loppem? Errr, sadly no. Once the pattern errors were sorted out via the Berroco errata page, Loppem just glided along. I've only to finish the edging around the sleeves and, voila, new winter warmer would be ready for the wearing.... However, the required 40cm 5mm cable needle continues with its stitch holder function on the one-armed February Lady sweater languishing in the corner. Hopefully, I'll get my act (and needles!) in gear over the weekend:o)
Loppem
Fyberspates Scrumptious DK
Forest Canopy Shawl
The yarn has a 45% silk content and is so soft to the touch. It's a joy to work with. At the moment, it's looking more blobbish than like a canopy - but I'm sure blocking will work its magic. I've had to order a further skein of yarn as the one skein is not going to be enough. There's a plus though to the yarn shortage - Forest Canopy now comes as a cowl and I'm hopeful that there should be enough yarn to make one of those too.
Tending to one's self care can be a taxing business, can it not? This recent picture of Louise had us chuckling! Can you tell she enjoyed her grooming session courtesy of DD1? What a life, eh?
LoppemSo what does the avoidant finisher do in this situation? Of course, start another project! I've cast on a Forest Canopy shawl and if it turns out well, it'll be part of mum's Christmas present. The yarn completely lives up to its name - Fyberspates Scrumptious DK yarn in Moss colourway.

Lovely knitting there. Good to see you making some progress.
Love the mog shot as well.
everything looks like it's chugging along nicely, love Louise, gorgeous cat shot!
That looks lovely in the Scrumptious and thanks for the link to the cowl!
Yes, casting on a new project would have been my tactic too :o)
That is one contented kitty!
The shawl will be beautiful in that yarn, so cosy.
OH Forest canopy as a cowl...I like that idea!
kitty is adorable.
What's a little winter weather without a bit of startitis? The yarn for the shawl sounds lovely, and is a very pretty color.
you've got some great knitting going on. Hope you're well. xx
