Latticework and basketry
If only it woodworking and basketry were really this easy. I finally blocked the Lacy Lattice Stole from Fiddlesticks. Dorothy Siemens is not kidding when she tells you to block it severely widthwise. Even though I blocked it very severely, it is still trying to grow lengthwise. That's OK as I will probably wear it more as a scarf than a stole.
Project specs : Lacy Lattice Stole by Fiddlesticks Knitting
Original yarn : Filatura di Crosa "Baby Kid Extra"
My yarn : Helen Hamann alpaca (very old, no yardage given)
Needles : 3.5mm addis
Started : sometime last year, set aside and picked up Feb 26/2006.
Finished : March 24, 2006
Completely different - so fast, so bulky - a moebius basket. Bob the spokesbear models.
Project specs : Moebius Basket from A Second Treasury of Magical Knitting
Original Yarn : Manos del Uruguay
Basket Yarn : Rio de la Plata, Faded Burgundy
Original Needles : 8mm
Basket Needles : 9mm addis & 8mm double points
Started : March 8, 2006
Finished : March 25, 2006
This is a really quick knit and sat around waiting for me to felt it. I was fortunate as the Rio de la Plata felts like a dream. One short wash and I have a lovely, dense fabric.
I've finally started my Diamond Fantasy Shawl for the DFS KAL, and must start my socks for Sockapaloooza. Pictures and pattern decisions soon.

Oh, your Lacy Lattice Stole is so beautiful! You did such a great job with it! And I love the basket as well - seems Teddy does so too! :)
The basket looks so cute with the bear. He's ready for the teddy bears' picnic now.
The stole is gorgeous, and I love the colour of the Rio yarn!
I've been wanting (and stashing) to make one of those moebius baskets. Charming!
