This was a pretty easy knit. I only spent about 3 hours on it. I made it have 8 arms and kind of faked my way through the tentacles. It’s going to be sewed on a t-shirt.

Traveling Woman Purple Shawl - DONE!

Started Oct 1/09 Finished Nov 17/09










Yes, another project started. I currently have 5 going on (not counting this one). I really wanted to knit with Wollmeise since I have 3 skeins of fingering weight and 2 of lace weight. So far I'm pretty happy with the yarn which is bad since its hard to get and gets on the expensive side. I have to do the set up till I have 201 stitches. Luckily someone knitted this pattern in WM so I have the changes I need. So far its been pretty easy but I haven't gotten to the lace parts yet.

I did 4 repeats of chart A and complete chart B!


Oct 3/09 I'm about half way through the set up stitches. I need to have 201 and I have 105 right now.

Oct 20/09 I have one more repeat of chart A before going to chart B.

Oct 26/09 I've done 3 repeats of chart A. It looks like I have lots of yarn so I will try for a 4th repeat

My First Wollmeise Purchase!








Actually the name of the store is Rohrspatz & Wollmeise. The yarn is dyed in Germany. Most people refer to the yarn as Wollmise or WM for short. It's very popular yarn and most of the time the store is empty. When there is yarn (sock, worsted and lace weight) its gone in a matter of an hour or less. I happened to be on Ravelry when someone announced that there was lace weight yarn on the site. Lace weight has been out of stock for some time. Well, I managed to make my first purchase on the site. I have Wollmise (3 skeins of sock yarn) but I purchased them from The Loopy Ewe. I managed to get a skein (which is over 1700 yards!) of Ballerina which is Muted lilac-shades. I can't wait to get it in the mail! I'll post a picture here when I get it.
