And The Class Goes On

Wednesday night was the second in a three week felted bag class. One of the objectives of the class was to teach advanced students how to knit with two colors. No one decided to take me up on that, but it's how I wrote the pattern, and it's how I'm going to knit my sample! By the end of class I'd just about finished the FI band, (twice actually... I did it the first time without the solid pink border and it looked like it was missing something). I'm using one strand of Malabrigo and one strand of LPW for the pink. You may notice that they are different colors than I'd orignally shown, but my LYS had this Malabrigo already balled up from making the swatch so it made sense to use it. I wish now that I'd used the other color because it would have given more variation, but this works well too. Beautiful, but more subtle.

Once again I'm doing some late night/early morning blogging! I'm sure that I don't have to tell you why. It's been productive though, I'm already through the decreases half of the waist shaping for the back of my lace cardigan! The lace just flows, and the Calmer is so smooth and wonderful, it won't let me go to bed!
