Deliciously Selfish

This is still a work in progress, but after knitting like crazy lately to build up stock for Coco Kids' first ever Craft 2.0 stall (as well as being 20 weeks pregnant and looking after my other two preschoolers) I'm a little run down and have been battling feeling like I've been hit by a bus for the last week - unsuccessfully I might add.


I thought perhaps it was time I cast on something for myself (which is unheard of around here!) so I purchased some gorgeous lace yarn from Morag at Vintage Purls and the wispy pattern and have cast one on as part of the VP Sweater KAL. I probably won't finish it before I start knitting for Craft 2.0 again, but I thought it was about time for some 'me' knitting just to get me through a wee slump I can see on the horizon.


Here it was in the skein (photo borrowed from Morag's site)
Limited Edition 'Mmm, Brownie'


And here it is at the moment - don't be fooled, there's still A LOT of knitting to do.


Did I mention it's 2ply/lace? But it'll be a fabulous garment for this spring/summer once I get it completed. It might mean I do need to break my 1 work in progress rule though, I do have Craft 2.0 to keep making stock for when I find my mojo again.

  3. It could be just the colour makes it look more dense Hannah - it was SO hard to check the gauge of the sleeves because of the darkness and because they're knit in the round!
