FO: Ponycorns and Rainbow Fragments
It’s not the FO I thought I’d have for you, but I’ll take it. I think once my current projects are under control I’m going to go back to my “only one lace weight project at a time” rule, because even with this one done, I still have two on the needles and so neither of them is getting much attention.
Pattern: My own (pattern available once I get the second sample off the needles, and the pattern written up)
Yarn: my own handspun. Fiber: Bugga!Fiber, 4oz, 70% superwash merino, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon, colorway: ponycorns
Yardage: one 560 yard (512 meter) skein
Fiber Source: The Sanguine Gryphon
Needles: 3.25 mm (US 3s) 40″ circulars
Growing In Leaps and Bounds
If I didn’t know better I’d say elves were involved, but alas that’s not the case, just me, a lot of reading, and a lot of movies.
I’m now on the third ball (and last) ball of yarn for The Big Orange Blob. I knit through almost all of the second ball last weekend, during a textbook reading marathon, but it has been put on hold until I can chart out the next section. Once I get it charted out, I don’t think the actual knitting will take too long. Maybe I can get it done this week? It’s been awhile since I finished anything big, and it would be nice to have this off the needles.
But charting and finishing The Big Orange Blob, will depend entirely on if I can rip my attention away from Ponycorns and Rainbow Fragments.
I’m just knitting till I run out of yarn, which seems like it’ll be sometime soon, especially if I keep working on it like I have been the past few days. (read: I’ve been doing nothing but knitting this freaking shawl since Friday.)
I’ve managed to add another couple inches to the Not Quite Argyle Jacket, and I’m now almost done with the waist decreases.
And amazingly enough, despite everything else that has been going on, Ghosts & Mirrors has managed to elbow it’s way into a couple knitting hours and has almost doubled in size since the last time you saw it (almost a month ago).
Hopefully the next post will contain an FO. Maybe. Fingers crossed.
One Row at a Time

and finishes up secret knitting.
