summer knit update



I haven't updated in forever, but I have been knitting!

I am currently making a light summery wrap using 2 balls of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and the pattern for the Lacy Scarf in Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. I tripled the width and am probably at least doubling or tripling the length.





I finally learned how to yarn over! These pics are from very early on in the process - I've now got about 4x that length but I'm going to keep going for another foot or two. I plan on wearing the finished wrap over my bridesmaid's dress at my father's wedding next month.

I've also got another baby blanket on the needles, a pastel version of the same colors I did for the last blanky. And I'm thinking about getting started on a laptop tote from SNB Nation - I just bought an iBook and I love the stripes!
