Fiber Dreams

As Jenna predicted, I can’t really go any further until I frog the rest of that old sweater. This is all the yarn—of that color, the main color, the reason for this project—that I have left. Yup. That’s it. Just two small balls and an even smaller pile that’s not big enough to bother winding. Until I frog the back of that sweater, anyway. That’s there, too.

And here’s the lap blanket at the end of block eight. Only the two largest blocks to go. I simply must frog the rest of that sweater before I can go any further. Block nine is two colors: white and the dark pink/red color. This will be a fifty-four-stitch-wide block, twenty-seven stitches of each of the two colors, knit intarsia-style, with the colors side-by-side.

Knitting lace

Lise, if you can knit two together and do a yarn-over, then you can knit lace. Really! I would recommend not starting with Mountain Peaks, but with something a little easier, something where you can just purl across the back. If you like scarves, or if you like to knit socks, those are good starting places for lace. Though, come to think of it, my first lace project was a sweater. Actually, only part of the sweater was lace—the top of a boat-neck sweater to be exact. It’s fun. Try it.
