Into the frog pond.

Thank you to everyone who left kind comments on The Shetland Triangle Shawl. It is by far my favorite piece of knitting I have finished to date, and I actually brought it to work today and pumped the AC so that it was cold enough to use it!

I was planning on posting pictures of my Kiri Shawl progress today... But at almost midnight last night I ended up frogging it. I will be starting over again tonight or this weekend. I don't mind. If I didn't frog it, it would have bothered me forever that there was a mistake.

I'm really enjoying the lace knitting. I'm also enjoying the yarn that I'm using. Peruvian Collection Baby Silk from Elann.com. It has the softness of Alpaca that I love without all the crazy shedding that drives me crazy with most alpaca yarns I've tried out.

For needles, I'm using a knitpicks circular, size 3. I feel a little guilty for cheating on my Addi's but these babies have points. And those points, well they're nice.

[Speaking of points, if you're a fan of Addi's, go read Grumperina's post about Addi's and the possibility of them making them pointier if there's enough of an interest shown. I sent my email earlier this morning!]

Since I don't have anything blogworthy today to post, here are a few blogworthy things that piqued my interest...

Criminy Jickets posted the pattern for the Garterlac Dishcloth. I'll be knitting one eventually I'm sure!

For you sock knitters out there, check out Yarn Monkey's Sock Wars. It sounds like a lot of fun!

For those lace knitters out there, check out Whose Lace Is It Anyway?

And last but not least.... A blog carnival, called Yarnival.
