I am also embarking on a project that is, uhm, rather not my style. I am making "white rabbit wrist-ees" and I hope they turn out as lovely as they look. I'm using Manos del Uruguay Serina in lily pad. This yarn has had many different incarnations. Nothing has ever been right for it. I hope this will be. And I do hope I'll wear these, because I love this yarn (even if I ordered it on accident), the colours are beautiful. I only say they are not "me" in that I like to wear things I know will be warm, rather than fashionable. And these are small, and cute, and I am not :)
Well that's what I'm working on at the moment. I've been spending waaaaay too much time on Ravelry lately trying to pick out a crochet blanket pattern to work on. I want to stash bust again, and it is hard to choose!! Happy Crafting everyone!
I love that manos yarn! Happy knitting. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Manos del Uruguay! Lovely yarn.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of twins in quite that way ... two to make of everything!
what a lovely bowl for your yarn
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn. Hope you find the right pattern, I also can get completely lost on Ravelry!
ReplyDeleteI am hosting a Secret Santa Handmade Swap over on my blog and I do hope you will consider it, you are so talented :)

Love the manos yarn, but I can see how it might be difficult to match to a project. Hope this one works out!
ReplyDeleteThose "wristees" look adorable, and I love the yarn! (And the bowl. Lovely...) I don't think I could do two of everything. I have to do two of about half of everything, and I get so bored by the end of the second one... xo
ReplyDeleteLooking through the Ravelry pattern database can be a huge time suck - waaaay too many gorgeous choices :)
ReplyDeleteThe wristee pattern looks really cute - I'm tempted but I don't know that I'd wear them.
Ooh, thumbing through Ravelry patterns is a dangerous pastime! Hopefully you've got the right pattern for that gorgeous Manos!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty variegated you're using for your wristies.
ReplyDeleteThose wristees look amazing, and you have chosen such a lovely yarn to work them in.
ReplyDeleteI love the red that you are using for the shrug. Such a cute pattern! The wristees are going to look so pretty in that yarn. Sometimes a little inulg
ReplyDeleteSorry, I was going to say that sometimes a little self-indulgent knit is fun!
ReplyDeletei'm not sure about my current project either, but it's fun finding out! good luck to you dear!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your projects!
