So glad to have Cersei finished and off the needles! Doing the fingerweight version in Lambspun prism helped my to meet my self imposed deadline. I'm still working on the laceweight version in Ling from The Unique Sheep but needed more yarn to finish the size that I want. Until then I will be going camping....to Camp Loopy that is :) The Loopy Ewe runs challenges every summer and I've decided to join in. I can't believe that I haven't found them til they came to Fort Fun! The first challenge is to knit a project using 400+ yards of yarn and a pattern from a foreign designer. I will be casting on later for Finland with Perlata Pitsigootti-huivi in Madeline tosh merino...
As many of my friends know I am a huge fan of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. I've decided to take that infatuation one step farther and write some knitting patterns inspired by the characters in the books. So far on Ravelry I have published Arya. I have many more characters talking to me about their pieces, but for the last few months, Cersei Lannister has held the spotlight. Her pattern is a shaped like a Danish tie shawl and is lace and cables combined together, not a a knit for the faint of heart. Laura at The Unique Sheep did an awesome job with my custom color request and Hear Me Roar was born. I have been knitting...
Well people, this is my first step into the blogisphere...I don't read blogs so I am very much winging it right now. So, here I am and hopefully this will be fun for all of us
Thanks
Katrina
