Another enterlac bag

The Noro Kureyon #154 yarn
Two sides of the bag





These bags are called the Market bag...this one is pretty wild..cant wait to see it felted...will either be gorgeous or YUCK! depending ...massive quantities of yellows and greens and oranges and not enough of my fav turq and fuschia...some great chartreuse though...

so in case you wonder where


i have been ...this sweater has been obsessing me...consuming all my time when i am home....got to get it done because i just ordered another $70 worth of yarn from Cherry tree hill...well the Loopy Ewe to add to all the variety i have been using...most of this yarn is from our local LYS Institches where i bought $44 worth last week...but its too heavy so and they dont have the right colors in the thinner yarns.....

some of it was ordered online last year at Kaleidoscope yarn...ALOT of it is knitted from Cherry Tree Hill hand dyed supersock yarn...its taking forever since I am knitting it on size THREE needles...but its going to look great WHEN I get it done ...not IF I get it done...

have a good sized chunk of the other half of the back done...up to the armhole...still have to do the top half and the back of the left sleeve...

off to varnish the kitchen counter trim...before replace it with granite of some kind or the other!!

Modular knitting part 2

KNITTED ON SIZE 3 NEEDLES

So these are my two big pieces of knitting...tells you how big they are that i could put them both on the scanner...not very big at all. There are only 800 Squares give or take a few on the red sweater. The dark blue block on the top right side of this piece is where i stopped...going back across to the left to make another "row"....only added three blocks tonite at quilt guild...isnt that where everyone knits:>


KNITTED ON SIZE 8 but thinking of changing to size TENS!


the purple one knitted with Noro yarn has far fewer blocks but is just as slow going...bigger needles should mean you cover a lot of territory quickly ...NOT in this case...TOUGH knitting...I didnt like this one but on a second look i think i do.
