Crime and Punishment

This naughty project is going to the corner for awhile.

See why?

Somehow, I guess, a stitch marker was moved (who moved it?--surelynot me!).  I didn't notice it until I had divided the sleeves of this future pullover hoodie from Knitting Pure & Simple (with Cascade 220 yarn in "Aqua").  This is nice mindless knitting, but I guess I took the "mindless" part a little too much to heart.  It's going to be too warm for wool, soon.  Things aren't looking too good for little hoodie.  I'm very annoyed. 

So much so that I cast on some lace. I enhanced my Handmaiden Sea Silk stash recently simply because this new color was irresistible.  Peridot.

I practically swoon every time I look at it.  I'm making "Tuscany" from No Sheep For You.

It looks to be an elongated triangle of my beloved leaf lace (perhaps with the extra lateral width, I will avoid what Mason-Dixon Kay memorably refers to Jemima Puddle-Duck Syndrome).

I finished "Stevie" (from, It's a Tape Thing).

t's cute.

I still need to find a brooch closure of some sort.  Jillian found these--pretty nice.

Oh, and I think I have enough yellow/green cardigans for now. 

I still have a surfeit of Rowan Cotton Tape in several colors (although it is dwarved by the burgeoning Cork reserves I've been quietly amassing--bwah-ha-ha-ha!).  I'm not sure how I ended up with so much.  Oh, well, the weather is warming up, it knits up fast, and there are several nice vintage patterns for it by La Kim.

And, "Wicked"?  It wasn't naughtly, but it got put in the corner, too.  Limbo still exists for knitting projects.

Good luck brooch shopping! A couple-three posts before the Perl Grey bit I linked to another brooch source too - ThorThors Hammer. Strange name but nice stuff :)

*Faints*

Re SeaSilk: As soon as I recover, I'm blatantly copying you by ordering that exact colour!

It`s very pretty. I love the pattern and the beautiful pattern for *Stevie*.
The Sea Silk is absolutely stunning!

I keep coming back to the comment you left me about Habu Shosenshi Paper... have you used this for any projects? You recommended using it with the SSS - wow! Thanks, Steph. x
