Knit & Knag Designs

I have a few really exciting projects in the pipeline.

The excellent Roxanne of Zen Yarn Garden recently sent me 2 skeins of Serenity Glitter Sock in this gorgeous colourway (Nitro J).They are going to become a shawl, and I’m mulling over the design as we speak.  I’ve got parts of it worked out already, but there are a few more things to figure out before I can start knitting.

I also got a wonderful package from Babs & Helen at Miss Babs.  This is the first time I’ll be working with their yarn, and it looks so scrumptious I’m really itching to cast on.  In fact, I believe I’ll cast on tomorrow.  I have two projects planned.  One will be using this 3-colour gradient set in Northumbria Handpainted yarn.

That set was absolutely calling my name.  I know EXACTLY what it will become – I have a perfect design for it, and I just can’t wait to start knitting.  Like I said, I think tomorrow is the day.

And finally there is this 5-colour gradient set in Yummy 2-ply toes.  Expect to see this in a new Mystic KAL.

I don’t have a date yet, but I’ll keep you posted.  In the meantime, shh!  

The Fiber Optic Paintbox set I showed you when I came back from Maryland Sheep & Wool is coming along nicely.

I expect this pattern will be out in the fall – probably September or October.  Right now it is looking like a rather pretty blob, but it’s not quite ready to face the world yet.

Finally, I have a super-secret-super-exciting project on the needles right now.  Can’t share much except a sneak-peek of the yarn, which is Solemate from Lorna’s Laces in Navy Pier.  It contains all sorts of pretty blues (not navy though).

I think that’s it for now.  So, while it may seem a little quiet at the moment, rest assured that things are happening behind the scenes.

Happy knitting!
