A new ipad carrier. I suppose it didn't need a 100% merino wool 4-ply cabled handspun cover, but I have a bad habit of trying to save yarn for special projects ... then I wind up never using my "good" yarn. Silly, I know. So now ipad has a nice carry case/cover to keep it warm and protected from the uh, brutal Baltimore summer heat.
Crest of the Wave scarf I started in the winter, with Malabrigo. Easy pattern, but I get distracted and wind up having to go back and fix mistakes. It shall have a beaded fringe, and be loverly.
Free Rav pattern link here.
This is my latest heart-throb ... beckoning me from the yarn basket. KnitPicks. Colors are purple and green. 462 yards. Don't all yell "Wingspan" at once, now. I'm still deciding.
Okay, now on to Giveaway, Take II. I held another drawing for the roving and stitch markers featured on this post, since the first winner never came back and I couldn't contact her. So NANCY MCCARROLL is the new winner! Nancy, if you get in touch with me (is my email address on the webpage somewhere?) I'll send you the goodies!
Don't forget to stop by for Fiber Arts Friday Fun!
oooh, I like these projects! Now I want an Ipad just so I can knit a sassy cover ;-)
ReplyDeletelike your Ipad case-I have that same wave pattern sitting an waiting for me to get back to it-looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by all you do that I don't always know what to say - but I'm here anyway so thanks for being inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYour iPad will be very toasty this summer. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour Crest of the Wave will be great - I like the color you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell which Knitpicks yarn you have there, but a lot of people have been using Chroma and the result is very nice. Generally the yarns with long color repeats work best. Good luck finding the perfect project!
ReplyDeleteAw look at those sweet faces. Sniffs from LittleDog. Your cover looks very nice and I'm sure your iPad appreciates the special love you are showing it. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think your iPad deserves a nice lovely cover. Glad you took that WIP out of hiding, it is pretty. Great projects.
