On the Needles Friday

 

I'm making slow progress on my Camp Loopy Project #3.  I am knitting Waving Lace Top in Cascade Heritage Silk, Honey Sage Color.

I had restart the top 3 times before I was finally happy with it.  First error was because I didn't swatch and just followed the comments from others and used size 4 needles;  I had knitted through the lace section and an inch into the body before I measured, too big - rip.  I didn't have a smaller size 3 circulars so we went to Michael's to pick some up so I could at least restart before the needles I ordered arrived.  I had knitted about 2 inches by the time the new needles arrived.  Some how on the second row at where the join to knit in the round was I twisted it and never realized until I was switching to the new needles - rip.

I have now completed 9 inches from my last official start date of 8/8 and have another 7 inches to knit before I get to the arm holes.  Finger weight, size 3, 250 stitches and 7 inches of plain ol' knitting to go before I start the lace top - AGH!
 

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

On the Needles Friday

I started my Camp Loopy Project #3 this morning.  With 800 yards minimum to knit I have a long way to go this month, I can see not allot of other things getting accomplished.  I am knitting Waving Lace Top in Cascade Heritage Silk and the colorway is Sage Honey.  Not much to show since I only have completed 6 rounds.

 

 

I completed my second camp project on Sunday - Lace Vine Vest.  I'm happy with  how it turned out except I may redo the front ribbing, it seems to pull up too much to my liking but I will try blocking it again to see if that helps.
