WIP it real good!

It has been a wild race of WIP action this weekend. Projects have been queing up in the hopes of crossing the finish line this weekend. We even had a few contestants come to the forefront that we thought were long forgotten and never had a chance of getting back into the race.

And they are off - it is neck and neck to the finish line, I can't believe after all these months of work it has come down to this split second photo finish!
Number 1 position: Grey Striped socks - can't show you the actually knitted pattern - that is a secret.












And coming in second - Master Knitter Level 1 project - hat knitted in the round with jogless rounds.
And limping in, in the number 3 position - the body of the Dessert Sky Shawl (lace trim will be added once appropriate coloured lace weight yarn is located!) The Dessert Sky Shawl was created using the most amazing Boucle Lace Weight Merino, hand painted in New Mexico by Fibre Artist Robin Pascal









Now you never know - the race is still on and we could have more entries racing over the finish line this weekend!

YARN REVIEW

I am working with the new Zitron Unisono Yarn, a yummy Merino wool, fine, with aloe and jojoba. It is a true joy to knit with, my hands will be sad when my project is completed. Amazing stitch definition and the colour ways are inspirational!
