I used about 2.5 balls of plymoth Suri Merino, with size 8 needles. It is about 60" long, 12" wide. Over all a very enjoyable knit. I really liked the look after blocking. I twas almost cabled looking before I took the wires to it. I highly recomend it!
On the needles are the "socks with holes", aka lace socks for DH. I am knitting "friday Harbor" socks from Knitting on the road, by Nancy Bush. Regia yarn, size 1 needles. Thank goodness for lace!
Also on the needles is my Glascow Lace Sweater for Interweave Knits. I really like this sweater, I just gave it a break to work on Christmas Presents. I finished the back last night. I am casting on for the front tonight! Frankly, I don't want to sit at home while the election returns come in. It gets my blood pressure all up and out of control. I voted. I'll find out who won in the morning. I am going to dinner, then to the coffee shop to knit, then to a late movie, then to bed. I think it's best.
now to the Yarn Porn!
I got my package of Lornas Laces Shephard Sock yesterday in the mail!!
Top to bottom, the colors are: Mardi Gras, Clay, Socknitters Winter Sunset, and Seascape. Clay is the only one that I might not have picked for myself, but it's growing on me. It will be perfect for someone on my gift list in the future.
FOr somereaseon I can't seem to upload the closeups without getting the pixelation I got from yesterday's post. I need to find out what I am doing wrong. I think it's a photobucket thing. (I know! It's not Blogger for once!!)

I'm loving the Seascape and the Winter sunset. Must. Buy. More. Lorna's Laces.
*jealous of the Lorna's*
My absolute favourite is the bottom colourway, but it's really like choosing a favourite child.
Seascape is my favorite too, (but don't tell the others...)
Really like that scarf. A lot.
Can I have it? No? Okay, how about the pattern?
