Cherie Amour progress
I finished the bottom lace section on my Cherie Amour and I've done about 10 rows of the ribbed waist section. It's looking really good and so far I am staying on gauge.
I needed a new sz 10 needle for the waist section, so I picked up an Addi Natura, a needle I've never used before. I thought it was wood, but when I got it home, I saw it is bamboo. So much for my no-new-bamboo-needles resolution. But it is slicker than Clover; more like the wood needles I've used. I like it okay.
I also read ahead in the pattern for the umpteenth time, and the upper section is finally starting to make sense. I am still kind of a newbie with chart reading.
Of course, I am already thinking about what to knit next. First thing (and I might start this now) is a hat for my HB in dark brown wool with Noro Silk Garden stripes (Jared Flood/Brooklyn Tweed pattern). Next thing is a light spring cardigan fo rme.
But for now, focus is needed! Be here now!
