I have been inspired to make some more lace. I inherited some bedside tables from my great-grandmother's house and they are just SCREAMING for some custom lace runners. I'm going to modify a lovely pattern called Print o' the Wave. I found a great link to a lovely lace knitter here.
In the meantime, here are some photos of some work I did over the fall. I used Berroco for the sweater and the leftovers for the scarf.
I just threw in some yarn overs to make a kind of ladder and the threaded ribbon yarn through it. I love this sweater.

When it's warm, I wear it alone. When it gets cold I throw is on top of a long sleeved button up shirt. My boyfriend brags that it only took me 20 minutes to make. I actually had to start this about five times before I could decide on the size and pattern I wanted to use.

Here is some detail of the shoulder back. (My model is so easy to work with.)

Here are a few things I made around Christmas time. The blanket was made as a commission. Although the color isn't traditional, it's for a girl, and the cotton is so nice a cozy. I love the way the pattern came out.



The scarf and hat were made for the daughter of the same person who ordered the baby blanket. The girl likes red but her coat is pink, so it had to be just right.









The blue scarf was made from Lion Brand's Lion Wool. I got the pattern from Nicky Epstein's Knitting on the Edge. The fringe was knit at the same time as the main cable pattern and unraveled at the end. I have to make another one without the fringe for a friend in Maryland. Hopefully it comes out as well.
