Time for an update!

Here are 5 of my favourite black things in my house (instead of 7) Zette :)
My rose-grey alpaca and seasilk blend lace scarf is finished. I got to try my new blocking wires and I luv them!!!
My bay black handspun alpaca cardigan is actually starting to look like a sweater. It's knit from the top down.

That alpaca scarf is lovely! How did you like the alpaca and seacell blend? I was thinking of trying it with my own alpaca fleece.

Jody,
Your scarf and cardigan are both lovely. You should be very proud of your knitting skills.

Love that scarf and would love to have some of those blocking wires lol where did those come from?

Sandra said...

wow for alpaca scarf - soooo cozy and comfy!
Block wires - time saver!

Zette said...

Nice alpaca scarf.
5 is okay.
I should come up with 7 pink things - that was a challange.
Happy spinning.

Beautiful scarf Jody! I love my blocking wires as well. It's kind of fussy work to loop the wires into a project, but it's a heck of a lot better than using a bunch of pins.
So that's how you stay so skinny :) lol (Treadmill pic). I'm hoping I can find space somewhere to set mine up, and start using it again. Thanks for the b-day wishes! How's the weather there?

Love your scarf!! Love the pattern you used. Beautiful!! Have to get some wires for myself as it is so hard to block things properly without them.

Such a beautiful scarf and cardigan! Your spinning is so consistent. I've got to ask though - why is Rose wearing a tea towel?

The lace scarf! She is magnificent!

Your blocking wires sound like fun!

Your work, as always, inspires ;-)

That lace scarf is so pretty Jody. Looking forward to seeing the finished cardigan.
The other Gotland pictures are up in my gallery page.
Cheers, Doe.
