Knitting Monday: What's On Our Needles and a Winner!

Coming in at random number 629 Brittany is our winner of the huge Fiber Buzz gift basket.

Congratulations to Brittany and many, many thanks to our Fiber Buzz advertisers for contributing such a lavish prize!

Here's what we're knitting right now:

Kate's making good progress with Project Black Sock. The Schoeller wool/cotton blend pair are complete…

One pair down, several to go!

… the Koigu pair is underway (at the same time, on 2 circulars), and I'm ready to cast on with the Regia.

Up next.

So far, my eyesight remains unaffected.

look at that lovely, non-saggy skirt! (also, nice tush.)

Jillian is crazy about the Lanesplitter skirt. Here's what she says:

I went to Toronto this past weekend and met Lynne from Shall We Knit at The Purple Purl. She was wearing a Lanesplitter. Now, Lynne is not 20, not 6 feet tall and not a size 2, but she looked fantastic in the skirt. It fit, she looked stylin' and it hugged her in just the right way, if you know what I mean. She'd also been sitting in a car all day  and it didn't sag one little bit.

It's a quick knit (or so Lynne says) and perfect for this transitional time – sick of winter clothes, but not ready to bust out the linen skirts yet.

I wasn't the only knitter smitten with the Lanesplitter, but when Kate mentioned that there was a new shipment of Noro Kureyon in at The Purple Purl, I was the first to fall.

fabulous from the front!

 

the hotness that is Lynne in her Lanesplitter (Jillian averts her eyes in the back..."the hotness! my eyes!")
