The family of a lace knitter

okay this is the Beastchild who spends too much time at school and sports practices, then there's Ivy my favorite knitting companion (except for the time she happily retrieved a vintage nylon knitting needle) and finally the husband who spends too much time on the road! I love 'em all, and they're even cool about all the fluff around the house! The hubby has even been known to go into knit shops in foreign lands to pick things up!! He's perfect - eat your hearts out ladies!

French Trellis is done!!!

Well who knew that Jake going back to school would make me so productive, okay we all knew it, but it does make me giggle to write it!!! Here's my finished scarf, hope you like it. The halogens distorted the color, it's actually a wonderful olive color raw silk with electric blue flecks in it. Hopefully it will behave for Julie who has allergies to just about everything, but SILK!!!

Okay - Brian set me up a blog and said that this was easy to do, so far he's right. So today I've almost finished the Trellis Lace Scarf from Victorian Lace Today, and it's been a snoozefest. Although I really like the Habu silk. And supposedly I had more than enough yardage on the cone to complete it, but I didn't so I had to break into the second cone, looks like for about 50 yards.

I should finish up tomorrow and block it out, then I'll post another picture when it's blocked!
