the blue blog archives: accessorize me

First I was all about making the little foxy beret and now my calmer aura cap is well underway.

This time I'm doing the aura cap in the round. The pattern calls for it to be knitted flat and seamed up the back and the first two I made were done that way. But this time, I went ahead and bought myself the proper sized needle and set about attempting the little lace pattern in the round. I'm not convinced that I'm getting the first and last stitches correct, but it sure doesn't look any worse than a big seam in the middle of lace!

I got this calmer on sale at Downtown Yarns last time I was in NY. At the time, I'd wished that there was more stock left, but now I'm glad that I only got one ball. I am finding it so fun to make these quick projects. So far I'm at a hat a week. Next up is possibly my Cat scarf, my crochet scarf, one of the two scarves I'm making for my mom, or gloves for the boys. It's getting cold fast up here in these parts. Time for the accessories!

[I'm late posting today, cause I was out early having fun with the boys this morning. Pictures tomorrow!]

We are such creatures of habit, aren't we? I was surprised that you didn't have a new post up when I checked by with my mid-morning (west coast time) coffee. Very glad you were out having fun with the boys.

Helene, here's a link to jog your memory! ;0)

Michelle, you weren't the only one who noticed. When I got back from the fair I had an email from my mom, who says she always worries when I don't post first thing in the morning. Hence, my footnote about where I was. :)

The burgendy color and the lace pattern look great! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I get to see my first alpaca at a fiber fair in NC in 2 weeks!
