A Kind of Project Done

Its the Purl Ridge Cowl by Stephen West.  But this time its done in fingering weight.  I had added extra stitches, like 50, and just did the rows called for.  Suggestions in doing it in fingering.  Do at least 300 stitches, more than the regular 7 rows, do at least 10-15 rows or at least do a considerable amount to what your comfortable with, ie to the length of your neck.  I will probably have to wash it and block it because its kind of rolling at the sides because of the fingering weight yarn.  I have done this in the Fybernymph Autumn Harvest colorway in fingering weight.

As is, it drapes to at least the bust line.

Now to go onto finsih the 22.5 Degrees by Miranda Behm.  I have been working on this one for at least 2 years. Its in a dark, medium, and light grey Einband Lopi laceweight yarn.  I might restart working on this tomorrow or the next day.  Hands kind of hurt a little from finishing the Purl Ridge Cowl.  Think I was knitting a little hard.

Lets see how many projects I can get done between here and hopefully my job picks me back up for summer shifts in mid June.  Please keep your fingers crossed.

I am a little sadistic but I have found a pattern called Knitted Patchwork Recipe by Martine Ellis.  I have several skeins of a light fingering yarn in 3 different colors and I might make a light summer blanket with it.  I might have enough.  If need be, I can make a border with the leftover fingering in the autumn harvest and other yarn colors.  So who knows.

Well good night.
