Malabrigo March has come and gone. You can check my projects (finished and not) on my rav page. It was a fun month, but now I'm on to BIGGER and better things.
Knitting friend Aimee and I started a KAL with the Miriam top in January.
But, with Malabrigo March, and just how HUGE the project is, we're still not done.
What Miriam has done for me, though, is gotten me REALLY excited about making clothing. I NEVER made straight up clothes with my crochet. Always accessories.
Mine is in lanaloft, TEAL. and was going along quite well until Malabrigo March hit. Then, complete stop. But, I'll pick it up over Spring Break.
But, let's talk about personal project... Ive decided I'm going to do a few rounds (aka Months) of 10 day tops. By a few, I mean I have 8 tops in my que and I want to make them all. But, alas, I have a 8-4 type of day job where the only knitting I can allow myself is during lunch (20 minutes).
Thus, 10 day tops will be monthly in 2012. 2011 was year of the blankets. 2012, year of the 10 day tops.
March 10 day top : Sunset Madigan
ok, I love Quince and Co.'s patterns. I'm not WILD about their yarns yet, mostly because I have no experience with them, but, both Miriam and Madigan are their patterns.
On a trip to http://theyarnlounge.com/ , I found 2 (or was it three?) skeins of Sunset Rios, and I had to have them. Then, Madigan started calling, and knitting friend Aimee said I could have her left over .75 skein from her last project. Then, on rav, a
lovely person was selling 3 skeins. I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world, so I made my first EVER gauge swatch (which yes, I washed and dried).
Cast on: March 30th at 7:40 am.
From the picture, you can see that Madigan has a gorgeous cowl neck. Those welts took me a while. I have until Monday at 7:40am to be done. Think I can do it?
10 day tops, April?
Here are the top 3 for April (although, I think I've settled on one of them)
1) Dorflinger 2) Pegboard 3)Xia
But first, to finish Madigan.
