Sundara Sweater

Here's my Black Cherry Bolero. It's lovely. More due to the yarn than to my skills, but I'll take it. :)



Pattern: Lemongrass Bolero
Yarn: Sundara Aran Silky Merino in Black Cherry
Mods: I made a narrower collar as I was running out of yarn. I used a i-chord bind-off to keep the edges from rolling.
Thoughts: Pay more attention when picking up stitches! Even after a complete do-over I'm not in love with the collar - it warps at the bottom. Eventually I should pick that out and reknit it. But not yet.

Pooling beauty

I made this stole:

Out of this yarn:


Gladys (aka Wenat) is a genius! As is Claudia from Wollmeise. I was so excited by this stole that I wandered around Central Park (ok, I was walking to work) looking for the perfect shot.

Pattern: Pooling stole
Yarn: Wollmeise Sockenwolle in Versuch 1
Thoughts: Pooling is awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Now I need to collect a zillion skeins of yarn to make pooling projects from!

Birthday Socks

Karina's Birthday present.


Pattern: BFF Socks
Yarn: Painted Skeins Superwash Merino Sock Yarn
Notes: My first two-at-a-time socks. I found it very fiddly, but I'm not sure how much of that was my dislike of this pattern/colorway.
