Denim Lace Tunic January 19, 2010
Here I go again. Another boring blog post after a long absence, and promises of near future real blog posts. My intentions are good. Events are conspiring against me. Continue to keep your fingers crossed. There’s still hope.
In the meantime, I have another pattern out there in the world that I want to share with you. I had what I thought was a lovely named picked out for it, but the magazine, Love of Knitting, had something boring in mind: Denim Lace Tunic. <-- Go visit my pattern page for more photos.
But, exciting name or a boring one, the pattern combines my two knitting loves—cables and lace—and can be found in the Love of Knitting’s Spring 2010 issue. The totally cool thing? My model tunic was displayed in the Love of Knitting booth at TNNA this month. I didn’t know it was going to be there. I sort of wondered if it might be, since I hadn’t received the sweater back yet, but no one said a thing, so I didn’t know. Know what I mean? I was at the show, walking down an aisle with Dave, rounded a corner, and there it was, hanging on a hanger next to only one other garment, and under big signs showing previous issue’s covers on the back wall of their booth. Squee!
I do truly hope to be able to get back to at least shorter gaps between blog posts soon, and posts with a little juicier information in them. I’d even continue right now, I have so much to tell you, but I’m freezing. In spite of wool socks and felted wool slippers my feet are so cold the goosebumps are traveling up to my thighs, and my hands are so cold that typing is… interesting. Besides, it’s after 11 pm, and I have knitting to do, an episode of the Tudors to watch, and a cuddly afghan to curl up under. So, more will have to wait. Hang in there. I’ll be back. I promise!
