WIPW number 7




So here it is a week later, and you can't even tell that I've done a few more pattern repeats on the Morning Surf Scarf which I've renamed Ruby Waves. I loved all the comments last week about the pretty yarn!! For those of you who missed it, here is a pic of the yarn - it's Tili Thomas and is sooooo pretty!!!


Tili yarn

A few people asked me how it was to work with. It's really not a problem at all. The sequins are on a separate thread that run along with the yarn. Every once in a while, I'll come across a section that came unwound and have to make sure I have both loops in my next stitch. Other than that, you really don't notice the sequins as you knit - they don't get bulky or interfere at all. So, here is a creative shot of it hanging off my arm. My friend Trudy, who has become my unofficial photographer when she comes to Tuesday Knit Night, took this one!! I asked her to not get my face since I didn't blow dry hair!!! You can see another person's feet too which we thought was kinda funny!

WIPW number 6




I finally went back and counted so I know what post I'm on!! I dragged out a UFO and decided to start working on it again. I don't know when I started it - last year maybe? I got very bored with the pattern and let it go... I actually forgot about it until someone in my knitting group was talking about Tili Thomas yarn and then asked what I ever did with my sequined red yarn. So, I found it and rescued it from what I guess was "time out," and began working on it again. The pic I have is one full skein finished and ready to start the second.

Here is a close up of the pattern (it's on my Rav page here):

For some odd reason, this one came out sideways...
