Everything on the needles is lace. I’m pretty stuck on it. There is the MS3 (clue 2 is finished, it has been a lot of fun so far), The Spring Things Shawl (this was my easy knit until I realized I’d dropped a stitch and it ran backwards a few rows, time to tink), and I think I can include the Monkey Socks (couldn’t you?). Wings of the Swan is waiting in a bag next to my chair, partly finished. And for once, all of the things I am knitting are using my own hand dyed yarn. Two of the projects are beaded. None of these are social, let’s talk and knit projects. I’ve been using spindling for that. Everything is very portable. Perfect summer projects.
And… I’ve been dyeing. This time it is Alpaca & Silk Lace Wt. I used this for my Shetland Shawl last autumn and now for The Spring Things Shawl. So soft. Lovely bloom.
Here is what’s been cooking.

Buttercup seems to be missing. I’ll get it posted with the next batch. If this cooler weather is here to stay, I’ll continue with some of the Merino & Silk 2 ply that Indigo Moon spun for me before they closed their shop this spring.
This gorgeous weather has me sitting outdoors with my laptop, posting. Today, I love technology.. tomorrow, who knows.

Lace is a great thing to be knitting. I love your latest colors!
I’m enjoying my lace right now too. It may be time to cast on for something new . . .
The silver vase is amazing! well, they are all amazing…but the silver vase is double amazing…
(sounds like you are enjoying the cool front that moved in!)
As always, simply stunning colors. Could you send some of the cool weather this way. Please????
I am on a lace kick too. I had to put down the MS3 for a bit while I’m swamped for a bit here, but I can still work on the Victorian Lace scarf – that’s easier.
It WAS a wonderful day wasn’t it? After all that wet and humidity- simply gorgeous! Beautiful colors out of the dye pot I see! Hmmmm…
I always love your colors! Gorgeous.
LOL Each new colorway that appeared as I scrolled down jumped out as the favorite. Until I reached Purple Finch – wow, my colors! Do you know how hard long I’ve looked for yarn of similar color? How much of it do you have?
I’m surprised by how much I like Atlantic. It’s not my usual sort of thing at all… but, wow. 🙂
