This is the beginning of a new project, one that will travel easily. It is an off white scarf/vest, the same idea as the first piece I blogged about. It has a metallic coppery trim knit into it. (The piece is in desperate need of blocking, the knitting not really that uneven.) I worked in an irregular rib up the middle of the back shown here. I was looking to make it reminiscent of the spine.



This is a close up of the coppery trim yarn. It is like knitting with a strand of DNA as the space between the color spots is open between the black edges. It makes it very interesting as getting both black strands together for the stitch can be a bit blinding. I feel that the result tho, is worth the effort.

Still working the cuff to cuff

Well, have returned to that cardigan. I am determined to finish it, I'll prob. incorporate the 'front line problem' into a design feature. We'll see. I may do a tube tank to go with it when it's done.
