September Project Done!!

Gimme an S... gimme an S... Gimme an S... Goooooo, Silken!!


Peridot


Pewter


My September project was "working with beads". I think I passed, if I may say so myself, especially considering that there are over 1500 beads in this scarf!

More specs on my blog.

My October project will be: learning to knit cables without a cable. I will be trying it with this sweater (pattern in Twilley Denim Freedom booklet): and instructions in Melissa Leapman's Cables Unlimited.

Everyone else's stuff looks great! Happy end of September! ;-)

can I change my September project?

Please please pretty please...! ;-)

I don't know if there's a rule against it or not. I had originally planned learning to knit cables without a cable needle as my September project... largely because another project I want to do is knitting with beads but I didn't think the beads would get delivered to me so soon.

So - today they arrived from Earthfaire:

(shown together with Handmaiden Silken - 1 skein peridot, 1 skein pewter) and with this loot I would like to endeavour the River Rock Scarf by Sivia Harding in the No Sheep for You book (the linked photo by Marianne on the NSFY KAL convinced me to go for beads).

Any objections? :-)
