Ok, color 4 is moving along on Charlotte, Oakley (Suede Shawl) is done and needs fringe (pictures Monday), and I’m thinking it’s time to jump into the Lace Along project, Seaweed Wrap.
Hey, Julie and Kate…when do we start our Lace Along? Here is the swatch. AS gives you the exact way to make a swatch for this wrap but I just was too anxious and didn't want to use more yarn so made it one repeat short. Click on the picture and you'll see a better view. It's hard to see the pattern clearly with my dark yarn. You can see it better at Virtual Yarns.
I really want to get started on my Kersti as it is amazingly beautiful and soft but, I’ll hold off a little longer. You can see a swatch over at the Knit Kersti For Me blog. Annie's and Mary Beth's will be showing up soon, too.
I'm ready for a weekend of great knitting and getting started on something new. Seaweed it is.
Thank you for all the kind comments on my 'Secret' sweater. It was fun and fast to knit. Having my picture taken is one of the things that I dislike most. It was difficult to show but I didn't want you to think I was hiding something!!
Time away from knit-for-hire, checking blogs. Alot can happen in a couple of days! I love your sweater, it fits so well! And I love your swatch for the wrap! I'll be starting the Victoria tank from IK for the lace along. And now I am thinking I cannot live without some Kersti........

I feel like Teresa C.! Here I completely missed your secret surprise (great photo, great look), and the bonus photo of SM! Of course I'm off to check out that sweater in the Purl book. You really stimulated some creative ideas with those two posts. BTW, I'm having trouble commenting at Kersti - something about my computer being targeted by spammers. I'll look into it.

I love the swatch! I can see that the pattern will be beautiful. May have to look into that for myself as well.
I'll send a photo of my Kersti swatch next week some time (still haven't done it yet).
Enjoy your weekend!

Your secret sweater looks great on you! I'm liking the swatch for your wrap too. Great color.
