Lots of randomness
First up: Vogue Knitting has 10 free patterns on its website at the moment – click here. I’m warning you – they are a bit Supre-eque…. blargh. Sorry to any one who loves them! hehehe…
2nd: Knit-In rocks. I’ve never been before but it was fun! Web-Goddess has the best round up, and we got on TV!! hehe… Next year = bring booze!
Mental note for next year – maybe bright red hair isnt the way to go – it attracted ALOT of attention. But I was easy to see in the crowd hehehe…
3rd: I finished the Tear Drop Scarf from the latest KnitScene.
YAY!

I used The Knittery’s Silk Merino 2ply, in Amethyst.
Some stuff to be aware of if you’re making this baby – when it says cast off loosly, do so! I mean so loose, looser than you ever have before. I was making 1/2 inch loops and casting those off, i think i still could have gone looser.
There are also pattern errors on the rows that consist of eyelets. It basically tells you to make eyelets to the end of the row = wrong. You need to stop when you get to the YOs of the prev row, and then knit to end. Otherwise it looks weird (trust me). I email Interweave 2 weeks ago but no reply yet.

looks nice but i hate to go into a pattern knowing there were errors. Did interweave ever email you back?
Bex
Hey Lauren – they never did get back to me but the errors are blindingly obvious… It really was an easy knit.
