Ruffles!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

rufflesI actually finished something again! I’m quite pleased with it.

It’s the Just Enough Ruffles by Laura Chau of Cosmicpluto Knits. I used Great Adirondacks Cotton Bamboo, which is gorgeous. It has a lovely drape to it- I was worried at first that the needle size (US 9) would be too loose/drapey for the ruffles but it ended up being just fine!

Lately I’ve been working on the Owls Sweater by Kate Davies, I’ve been using Berroco’s Cuzco and its super soft!

Ocean City!

The boardwalk!

I just went to Ocean City, MD for Aaron’s birthday, and it was lovely! Here are a few pics of it to get in the mood for spring and summer :)

And since it was about a 2.5-3 hour drive I got plenty of knitting done! My friend is getting married in April so I’m trying to complete a blanket for her, so I worked on that and got a bit done.

I’m also thinking about making the Whisper Cardigan to wear to her wedding, I got some Lacey Lamb in white to use- not sure if I can actually get it done or if it will fit- the measurements are small so Aly may be getting it if it doesn’t work out.  At first I wasn’t sure about it, but I think it would look nice over a tank top or a sundress so I’m going to give it a try and see if I can get it to work for me :)
