This week I started Wingspan for a Knit-a-long in the Fiber, Friends, and Fun Swaps group. I'm using Cherry Hill self-striping yarn in the colorway Name Your Poison. I love the colors, but I'm a bit sceptical of their claim of "self-striping". Seems more varigated to me, but it is gorgeous in this short row shawl.
I finally got to work on my Ardelise! It's breezing by once I got past the collar and picked up the stitches. I'm really, really hope it'll be ready before it gets too hot down here to wear it.
And, of course, what is becoming my obligatory picture of Tippy. I swear I have other pets, but Tippy is just SO photogenic.
I love obligatory dog pictures, I do it all the time too. Your Ardelise looks beautiful, and the self striping yarn is yummy. Sometimes yarn doesn't do what I think it should, but it still looks great.
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting and cute dog! Have a great week!
ReplyDeletewow such lovely knitting, your ardelise is beautiful - i love it.
ReplyDeleteYummy colors for Ardelise! I bet it would be self-striping if you were knitting socks...something with a smaller stitch count, and in stockinette rather than garter.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! Tippy is so handsome.
ReplyDeleteGeeky Heather beat me to the punch. It would stripe a little as a sock. Beautiful color! The collar is so interesting. Can't wait to see the finished sweater.
ReplyDeleteTippy just makes my day and such a ham! I like your projects and the shall has such beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm nuts, but I totally see stripes :) Tippy looks like a very happy dog!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting looks great! Cute dog too!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are looking great! Tippy is adoreable!
ReplyDeleteTippy IS so photogenic.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty knitting!
haha your dog makes me laugh. all of your knitting is gorgeous! (I agree though, that doesn't really look like self-striping yarn)
ReplyDeleteOh my, your knitting is beautiful. Love the shawl.

Oooh, pretty texture on the Ardelise :)
ReplyDeleteyou know, if you keep posting pictures of tippy i'm going to keep getting distracted and forget to complement your knitting :)
ReplyDeletetippy is such a stinkin' cute pupper!
I swear I need to get back into the WIP Wednesdays. I use to love them but now it feels like all I work on is old WIPs. I must have had startitis sometime last month and did not notice. Now finishituptis is here
