On the needles in May

What am I working on now?

Mainly I'm knitting my silk shrug. The silk knits up beautifully.


I had been concerned that I would not have enough yarn - but I have used 2 skeins for the back so I think the 6 skeins that I have will suffice.

I have not been doing much on River Rock - here it is in much the same state as it was 2 weeks ago.

Finally i've of course got socks on the go...here are some socks for Lamar made of my favourite Austerman Step.

I'm travelling next week so will probably take the socks and the shrug so expect to see progress in the next thrilling installment.

Cast on River Rock

I am getting ready to cast on my River Rock scarf. This is from No Sheep for You.

Christina and I both bought yarn for the project from Full Thread Ahead after we went on our knitting camp last year. We plan to do it as a knitalong.

My yarn is Naturally Dawn. Its a 50% silk/wool blend from New Zealand. I bought the beads at the same time from Full Thread Ahead on advice from Hollis.
