And Now, More Knitting Pictures

I finished that WIP I was talking about before, in the end deciding not to fringe it.

And here it is:

Ooo, gorgeous! What wool did you use?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

It's actually a wool-acrylic blend, the Lion Brand Wool-Ease Worsted. But it's not one of those scratchy acrylics, most likely because of the wool.

[ladymondegreen.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought it was. It has the look of greenware pottery. Beautiful.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I use the Wool-Ease a lot. I don't believe in making non-machine-washable baby gifts, so the Wool-Ease is a good go-to yarn.

Oh my goodness, that is *beautiful*

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was fun to do.

Stitch markers were, however, my best friend during the knitting of this project.

that is beautiful!! The color is quite soothing. i can picture curling up with the afghan and napping!!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I like that color -- I have a bunch of extra skeins of it (I don't remember why I bought so much of it), so I'll use them for other projects (as yet undetermined).

Very pretty!! Congrats on finishing it.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It took a while, but I enjoyed it, and I'm thrilled with how it came out.

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

Pretty!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tygerseye.livejournal.com]

Pretty! I love that color.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love that color, too (they call it "Green Heather"). I have a bunch of skeins of it at home that I have to figure out what to do with them.

What a nice name!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I figured you'd like it. ;-)

Congratulations on finishing the afghan! It's so beautiful. :-)

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had fun doing it.

[introverte.livejournal.com]

It's really lovely! Coincidently, I am also working on a green blanket with diamond motifs. I should be done in time for the hot weather...

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And, yeah. I understand that "I'll be done by summer" part. I had to put this one aside for a bit when it got too warm for me to work on it (because it was so large I had to drape it *somewhere*, and over my lap tended to be the most convenient place).

[eireangus.livejournal.com]

Pretty!!! :-D

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

[eireangus.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome!

I love knitted stuff, especially blankets. I used to have a couple knitted kippot, but they end up being more like stocking caps. I have such a small head!

I do have two nice breslov kippot from Israel :-) Although both are Rabbi Nachman kippot.
