I am still busy knitting haps. The one I featured in the last post has been great for the cold weather we’ve had lately. I really like the Bartlett yarn. My handspun hap is coming along.
I think I’ve found an edging that will work. The pattern calls for an 8 stitch edging. It’s just too small with this fine yarn. I’ll work on this one today.
I finished an hap for a friend.
It turned out well and I mailed it off to her last week. The post office delivered an empty box! I am trying to see if we can find it through their lost and found. I had her name and mailing address on the ziplock bag that the shawl was in. It’s sad. I really wanted to get that shawl to her.
The new Swift has been working well as an actual knitting bag. I picked up two Packing Cube Shoulder Bags, and they are great for these larger projects. I use one for the yarn and the other for the project. I have plans to do a few more haps, so I will need them. I also picked up a lot of blocking matts and a set of blocking wires. I was concerned I’d need another set of the wires, but it turned out that I needed more matts. I’ll have to reblock the Bartlett yarn hap, if the weather ever warms up.
Off for a relaxing day of spinning and knitting!
