I've had the blahs so I thought I might do some knitting. This piece is a pattern by Cynthia Parker called Les Miserables. It is knit with Classic Elite Yarn Silky Alpaca Lace. I love the color and feel of this fiber. The wrap / scarf is felted after it's knit. Crazy cool and it's an easy pattern. Way too much fun. See the open raggedy parts caused by the dropped stitches. Very different and very fun.
My progress on Mary Roe. I so love the colors of the silk floss.
So I started this post with a cat and ended with a cat!! The eyes on Olga remind me of my sweet Jaxon. His eyes are green too. So many times he looks at me and his eyelids are at 'half mast'.
Back to work...NOT...back to fiber fun!! Have a simply fabulous week !!

Lovely WIP'S
Oh, all your WIPs are marvelous! I have to say that the whole dropped stitches thing freaks me out. It really does make a neat effect though. Beautiful!!! Love the color. And I love Olga and AAWFAA! And of course Mary Roe. :D I hope your sweet cat comes back. Good luck!
Cari I hope Cee Lo Red comes back too! You're making me want to dig out that Scarlet Letter chart, but I must refrain. And I am definitely checking out that scarf pattern! Very cool! Happy Tuesday....
Ooooh, love that funky scarf! And all that wonderful stitching! You've been busy.
Gee, that's a cute kitty. I love orange tabbies. He reminds me of my Julius. I hope he comes back to visit you again soon!
Oh Cee-Lo is so cute! Yeah, he's mad about his nuts! LOL! Oh my...I love your Mary Roe and Eve...she is so fun isn't she? You've been so busy with fibers. Can't wait to see the scarf! Book yourself a flight to Utah...I have just the place to stay! Do it...you know you want to...we could have some serious fun! XOXO sweet sister!
Very nice WIPs - love your Eve :-)
You have lots of WIPs too. I especially love the scarf. And it's name, lol. I've seen the musical (a couple of times) and it's fab. Your cat is beautiful too. I hope he comes back after he gets over his mad.
Awwww sweet kitty, hope he turns up soon.
Love your WIPs and the knitting is gorgeous too :-).
I think your projects are looking great. Love the color of the yarn. Miss yo a ton,
Meredith
poor kitty - I hope he returns to the good life in your garden. Glad you did pick up some knitting Cari - I'll be anxious to see what this looks like after felting - I've not done any felting myself but I have used this yarn and it is nice. I love your progress on Mary Roe - I have that on my wish list and I have the AAWFAA chart but I have resisted starting it - one day (sigh) take care friend - Mel
Oh Cari! You have been doing some wonderful things. Love your knitting, it's so lacy and delicate! I need to learn how sometime, and your Mary Roe is looking fabulous!
Are you interested in another SAL with our SB piece that we started last year? I think I want to set that up for a summer project. Let me know if your in.
Hope your kitty returns soon.
Hugs cute friend!
I love your progress pictures. Those are gorgeous WIPs.
LOL re the name Cee Lo. We have been calling our Pickle Cee Lo Brown as she's got a bit fat! Ooh..am I allowed to say that? LOL.
Cari, I'm so sorry about Ce-Lo. He sure is a handsome guy. I hope he comes back. You've got some great projects going on. Can't wait to see them in person!! :)
I love your WIPs!!! And I love your knitting too. I can't say that I've ever dropped stitches. Knowing me, I'd make a huge mess out of the whole thing.
I hope the Cee-Lo comes back after all that you've done for him!!
Cari, I love the color choice of your Les Mis. I made this in February for a Knitting SWAP and loved every minute of it. It is a gorgeous piece when complete. I can't wait to do another one. You've been very productive.
