Once again I have let this go much too long.......a few things finished since the last time I posted.  Lots of projects in the works.  I am up to clue 5 on the mystery sweater (universal 30 day sweater project).  I didn't make it in 30 days, but I like the way it is going.  I have been pleasantly surprised by the way the yarn is working up.


I managed to finish my westknits mystery shawl....and found the perfect ribbon to accent it.  I wasn't happy with the holes in the middle, so the ribbon is a perfect solution.


I have been learning broomstick lace.  I took a class at my lys, Fiber Frenzy.  The class was for broomstick lace, knit version.  I didn't even know there was a knit version but I love it and the yarn I used to make it.  I made a cowl using 2 skeins of crystal palace goldrush,  purchased at Fiber Frenzy.    I have wanted to try the crochet version for some time now so the knit version was just the beginning.  I found a tutorial at the crochet crowd, and with Mikey;s help via you tube I made my first crochet broomstick lace cowl  using a size 50 knitting needle for the broomstick, a size j crochet hook and one skein of wisdom poems chunky yarn  ultraviolet colorway.  

Lots of projects in mind with universal yarns right now.  the mystery sweater is being done with classic shades midnight ride.  I have another sweater in mind using classic worsted lp apple orchard and deluxe worsted cedar colorway.  I am also trying to come up with a projects for my universal stash. including but not limited to poems sock spa, toast, borealis, tropical sunset, blue haze, vista poems florescence, classic shades harvest, rain forest, campfire..  Not sure where I am going with all this yarn I just know I want to use it.

Just not enough time to knit or crochet all the things I want to make I suppose.....oh well back to stitching for now....
