So, I've been doing my usual this spring - reknitting patterns I like. I've redone Dark and Stormy (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dark-and-stormy) in Mewsic Brick House (http://www.spinnery.com/shop/products.php?cat=47) for me (yeah, finished that just as the 80 degree weather hit ATL, go me), did another Age of Brass and Steam (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-age-of-brass-and-steam-kerchief) green beaded scarf for a colleague at work, a pair of fingerless mitts (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sleekit-mitts) for another work colleague and did another Funky Grampa (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/funky-grandpa) - in greens this time. I'm attaching some pictures here, but should have better ones next week.
I've also started doing Featherweight (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/featherweight-cardigan) in Lindy Chain, we'll see how that turns out. Sometimes wool patterns don't work with plant fibers if they're too fitted. I had original pegged the Lindy Chain (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Lindy_Chain___D5420254.html) for a pattern called Simply Flattering, but I think I'll use some Hawthorne (http://www.knitpicks.com/yarns/Hawthorne_Fingering_Multi_Yarn__D5420251.html)for that since the pattern is so fitted and I'm not sure the linen would have enough give.
Promising to post more regularly!
