Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

More colours of spring:

Pattern: Citron  I'm #6785 to post this on Ravelry.

Yarn: Malabrigo Lace (1 skein) and I'm 13,975th to use this yarn on Ravelry. Nothing like being late to the party.

Modifications: Knit a wider, heavier border to keep it from rolling. Looks like it worked.

Thoughts: Meh. Underwhelmed with the finished product, the yarn (and to think I was so desperate for it at the time) and the eyelets created by the increases. The plus side is that it's so light you hardly notice it's there keeping you warm. I give this one a C+.

    Pink and green, one of my favorite color combinations, like my trusty Maybelline Great Lash mascara’s tube.
    I’d give your Citron an A+ for looks.

    I have a hand dyed, especially for me, skein from Deer Creek Artisans, Etsy dyer, that I will use for mine. I love the ones I have seen with dyed bands. Now to decide which end to start with?

    I love those cherry trees! And the colours are so perfect with the yarn and the shawl besides them. Did you order them to get that pink colour?

    Love all the pink. It’s definitely my color. And you are not the last one to the dance. I’ve still not tried Malbrigo Lace.

    Love all the pink and green. It must be nice to drive down the streets and look at the pretty trees.
