making up for lost time

Whew! What a year, eh? Believe it or not, I actually did get a little work done the first part of the year, and you'll see it in the fall. :) But right now, let's get down to some muse-y business! (btw, at the end of this post, there's a give-away!)


This came off the needles the night before last and I blocked it yesterday.

I'm madly in love with it, so please indulge me a little here.

You're going to have to see it blocking...

oooh and aaaah over the beads along the edging...

and then you need to notice that there is no spine in the stockinette stitch area.

I'll let you off after you admire the spine in the lace section.

Here is her garter stitch sister.

I'll be brief.

Just a couple of pics. Okay three. :)

There's also a scarf. I showed it blocking (I think; I may have just tweeted it).

Here's a pic of three of the four projects I just finished. There's a hat in there too.

These are all going to come out in my muses eBook - and complete said eBook - as soon as my test knitters are finished with them! I will get into what the gorgeous yarns are in my next post. Now. How about the give-away!? Can you guess which project is which muse? The persimmon and green are one, then there's the hat and the scarf, for three total muse names. Leave me your guesses and you will be entered to win one of three gorgeous hand dyed skeins of yarn! You have until Thursday June 14, 11:59 pm PST to leave a comment and be entered in a random drawing! You have three chances, for three possible muses. And the prizes? There's this laceweight silk from Iridaceae:

or this laceweight silk/merino blend from At Bullard Farm:

or this merino/cashmere/nylon sock yarn from Little Red Bicycle.

All lovely lovely yarny goodness from gifted hand dyers.
