At the moment, I’m working on two knitting projects as well as sorting out class information.
This is a baby blanket made from Cascade Cherub Aran weight yarn with a pattern from 60 Quick Baby Knits. The original pattern calls for Cascade 220 Superwash, but we don’t have the Superwash right now. It is working up beautifully in the Cherub, which is a very soft acrylic/nylon blend that is machine washable – perfect for babies!
Knit, Swirl was apparently the hottest new thing at TNNA this year. We got a copy of the book for the shop, but couldn’t order any more because they’re out of stock due to a second printing. The “swirls” featured in this book are coats that are knitted in a very large circle starting at the outer edge. In the center, about half the stitches are bound off and the bodice is knitted flat. When the knitting and blocking are done, only one seam has to be sewn.
I made the swatch for my swirl last week and started knitting a few days ago in Cascade 220. The outer rows of the swirl have more than 500 stitches each, so progress looks a bit slow at the moment. The swirl is so popular that there is a Ravelry group devoted to it! I’ll definitely post more pictures as I go!
What is your current project? Anything exciting?!
