Show of Hands

October 24th, 2008 · 7 Comments

How about a show of hands as to who thought I would actually stay monogamous to Kauni until she was complete? 

Should be no-one, especially if you’ve been reading around here for any length of time :) ¬† As Harriet put it yesterday, project monogamy is for wussies.¬† It should come as no surprise that I cast on for something else last night.¬† Using this:

Two forms of crack

Two forms of crack

That’s a skein of Rowan Kidsilk Haze that has been in stash for a bit.¬† Not sure how long and what I was going to do with it, but there it is.¬† I dug in the bead stash and turned up this tube that I think goes divinely with that yarn.

I started one project, Ice Queen, from Knitty.¬† Even went for the modified beaded picot cast on instead of provisional (blah blah) that I saw discussed on Ravelry.¬† Except I realized, KSH is a bit itchy near my face.¬† A cowl of that stuff just wasn’t going to work.¬† But I had gotten hooked on the idea of using these two forms of crack together.¬† I let the power of the interweb and ravelry work for me.¬† I turned up this pattern, the Angel Pearls Beaded Scarf from Sivia Harding.¬† I love her patterns.¬† How could you not?

Crack in use

Kauni is still my commuting knitting though along with a pair of plain socks for those stolen moments.

Have a great weekend all.

Craft on!
