Needlepoint Interlude
Ah, Wednesday again, and I'm humming along, fortified with a healthy dose of Rioja and a meal that I can only describe as "Italian Tapas" from a new restaurant that we tried called avec. It was loud and fun and a great place for our date night.
A Bit Farther on Mahjong
I am making slow, but steady progress on my Mahjong cushion. I use this project to relax after I get home from work and while I listen to The World. Gotta love streaming internet news.
The lovely blue masking tape has made this project much nicer to work on. The Giotto still catches on things (it's the nature of the yarn) but much less so that before.
Kidsilk Haze in "Chill"
My Kidsilk Haze arrived today from Colourway. Hard to believe that such a tiny package can contain so much yardage! There's 229 yards on each one of those little balls. I liked the color when I saw it on line, but like it even better now that it is sitting here in front of me. "Chill" is mostly lavender, but with grey tones. The only real question is whether I will start the lacy jacket or Birch first. Probably the jacket, which, I hope will be a nice addition to my late winter/early spring wardrobe.
Tomorrow night is the KIP at Letizia's on Division at 7 pm! If you're around, do come and knit with us!
Wonderfull KSH.I hope you'll enjoy knitting it as much as I did, it really is perfect yarn :)
What pattern is the lacy jacket? I have a 10-pack of KSH too and want to make Birch.
Such a pretty color in Kidsilk Haze! Can't wait to see it knitted up, whether it be the lacy jacket or Birch.
P.S. "Rioja" is definitely up my alley. Hee! And with a restaurant called "avec", how can one go wrong?
Hey, as much as I am looking for knitting content, I am mad about needlepoint. Can you describe the fiber you are using on that cushion? I have some needlepoint posted to my blog, back a couple of weeks ago. It has been slow going, mostly because I am really on a knitting jag. Going with the flow, that's what I do.
Hi again, duh! I scrolled down and saw the close up of the cushion! So great! I love novelty fibers in needlepoint. The more unusual the better. That is going to be fabulous!
1. I have a bag of chill too, stunning color non? see? great minds think alike
2. the cushion: Wow wow wowy wow, its like an impressionist painting come to life.
