« I AM KNITTING | ??? | Knitting Flame »

My first spring FO!
This is the status of Grace cardi Yesterday morning:
Three buttons left unsewed...and in the evening I completed:
Yey!! Finally three years WIP has completed! I am very happy about it first, and second I am glad that the length of sleeves are perfect and it fits me nicely...this hay-like relaxed color suits jeans very well, and I like this gentle tone.
So, what's next? That's it:
This is Flame, from Rowan magazine #31. I will make shoulder to normal bind-off, and the bottom to little rib. You ask me the yarn?
Silk Purse of Alchemy yarn, Rust Red. Yummy!! And also, now I am knitting a swatch with Debbie Bliss's Cotton Cashmere for Bardot Sweater, to get gauge. It is the first time for me to knit whis this yarn, and it surprised me a little...it is rather solid and linen-like feeling than imagined. I would try to knit both the Flame tank and Bardot Sweater....I simply cannot get patience to knit one by one!

Trico, the cardi fits so well and looks very nice on you. Can't wait to see what you are going to do with the silk yarn.

The cardigan looks great on you! It fits so nicely!
The red silk yarn is gorgeous! Where do you do your yarn shopping? (I live near Tokyo)
I'm the one you reffered to Tokyo SnB. I've been once and had a great time! Thanks again :)

Thanks, ladies!
And Sarah, don't miss current bargain bin at Mitsubaya (see SnB database), you can get many gorgeous winter& summer yarns with a very good price. Generally, I 've got my yarns at eBay or online shops in overseas. The shipping cost is quite high, but if you want more than 10 balls or so of Rowan, just peek eBay shops. it is cheaper( with shipping cost) than that we can get here in Tokyo.
