My first drop stitch project, a beautiful drop stitch scarf from an ancient Red Heart pattern booklet recovered from my Grandma's hoard by my Dad. I used Lion Brand's Micro Spun, the softest yarn I have ever encountered in my entire life...and it's acrylic. It's awesome. I love it. It made this scarf softer than you can imagine. I knit it especially for Colleen, my Dad's co-worker, since she's just a wonderful person and reads this blog. That's her in the picture, see? Later today I plan on putting up some work-in-progress pictures of it so you can enjoy how fantastically fun it is to make a drop stitch scarf.
As far as other projects go, I'm still trying to muddle through a swatch for a shawl pattern for my sister's wedding and the pattern, I fear, is wrong. Mom's sweater is trucking along, and I've started my sister's Bobblicious in grass. It's my first attempt at bobbles and is pretty swank. I may alter the pattern to a different cuff (i.e. not bobbles) and make one for myself.
Well, that's it for now.
