Late Night Knitting Report

The search for yarn for Rose Cardigan has ended, at least for a while, and I’m back to knitting. I picked up Gardens of Giverny Stole that was started in December, and promptly put aside for another project. If someone had asked me, I would have sworn I hadn’t touched this project in six months but since it was only three months ago that I started it . . proof that my memory is gone!

Gardens of Giverny

I had four of the lacy rows done when I picked it up this afternoon and got four more done this evening so I guess it goes pretty fast. It’s fun to do. You can’t tell much about it yet but once it’s blocked, the lace work opens up and it’s very pretty.

Lace Close Up

A bit of a close up of the lace . . still doesn’t show much but once it’s finished and blocked, it will be so pretty! I probably have about 10″ done and I think I read that blocked, it’s close to 70″ long. I’m guessing . . purely guessing . . that I will do 40 – 45 lace sections. The instructions say to do them til you’re near the end of the skein of contrast color. So, if I got four lace sections done tonight, I could finish this in 10 days if that’s all I work on. I can’t do that . . I get bored with one project but, I could get this finished by the end of April . . but I didn’t say what year!  🙂
