another lace wip

I just can't stop starting stuff at the moment. Got 2 or is it 3 other lace shawl wips on the go at the moment but last wee k Ijsut had to start another one. I've been wanting to design a triangular top down shawl for a while but have never knitted them before so was unsure of the constructions. But I got that sorted out and started looking for a pattern that would fit and this zig zag lace pattern fitted perfectly with some adjustment. The yarn is Sophia 4py (100% cashmere) from Posh Yarn and is gorgeous to knit with. Althoug h Inormally prefer brighter colours. Not decided on what to do with the border yet but I'm enjoying knitting this. It's good when I need soemthing easy to d othat doesn't need too much concentration.

Another lace shawl on the needles.

I cast on for this yesterday (or was it the day before?). It's in Posh Yarn's Sophia 2ply (cashmere) which is so lovely, soft and delicate to knit with. The design is interlocking diamonds and adapted from a stitch pattern book I've got. Not sure whether or not to add a border when it's done or just to use the mesh border I'm knitting on as I go. Decisions, decisions. This is a design I've been thinking of for a while and thought I might as well get on with doing it.

Also thinking about casting on for Swallowtail Shawl as I want t olearn how to do the neck down triangular construction which the Swallowtail Shawl has. I've got some ideas for designs for neck down triangular shawls but not sure of the construction yet.

Also cast on for a shrug/wrap today. I'm using Posh Yarn again this time Sophia (cashmere) 4ply. Again it's lovel yand soft. I'm suing an elongated stitch for this design and making it up as Igo. Not lace exactly but wanted to show it off anyway.

Here is my finished 'Victorian Lace Today' 'Alpine Lace' scarf. It's knitted in Posh Yarn's Sophia 2ply (laceweight cashmere) and is supersoft. I used 3 skeins (55gr and 400 yards each) and only had a tiny bit leftover. I knitted it quite a bit longer than in the book and it's a bit wider too. I love it. It's been used a lot this weekend and is so snuggly.

And here is two hats knitted it the same (almost) pattern as my Falling in Love Socks. they're adult hats but modelled on my daughter (who is 9). The free pattern will be on mywebsite (Anni Design) this evenign or tomorrow.

GarnStudio's Alpaca 4ply/fingering weight.

And here it is in Jaeger Merino 4ply/fingering weight. This model has 10 rounds less before decreasing and was too small for me but fitted my daughters perfectly. The Jeger knitted up much better than the Alpaca. Much better definition.
