WIPs & FO

Finished Object
Finally, I’ve the pic of Baby Isaac’s booties that I knitted in time for his full moon  

Sadly though, he grew out if it pretty quick (as all babies do, I guess).  But anyhow, at least I have ONE finished object to show haha!

Works in Progress
Working on two things at the moment, the Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn Clark in Blue DMC Petra (love this yarn!) for Evi, and a simple k4, p2 scarf pattern in variegated black/grey by Olympus, Japan, for the beloved.  Blush.

And yes, it IS possible to knit the Swallowtail in one week.  I’ve been knitting every night or every two nights since last Wednesday, and am already at the Lily of the Valley Border 1.  The nupps are really slowing me down, but I’m glad to say it’s coming along.  More pics on the shawl and updates on nupps later!

The K4, P2 scarf:

This is part of my yarn stash from Yuzawaya, Kichijoji, Japan.  Have yet to photograph the gorgeous mohair and raffia from Hamanaka.    Just finished ball number 3, 4 more balls to go.  Might just bring this over to London to finish up as am kinda addicted to lace knitting at the moment  

Next up, hoping to go to Kinokuniya tomorrow to browse the Japanese knitting, crocheting and beading books :)  Really addicted to those… gah, I have quite a number already but they just come out with more and more pretty things to look at!  I’ve got to set a budget for myself for tomorrow’s book shopping else I’ll just spiral out of control!
