I <3 Laura Long!
April 12, 2005
I just realised that the two designs I'm making from Rowan 37 are both by the same designer, and in the same yarn (Calmer)! The first one is Gemma of course. That one hasn't progressed any further than one sleeve. I also started Elspeth, because I thought I could alternate one piece of Gemma with one of Elspeth - it doesn't quite add up but it does mean I get to work on both at once - hooray!
I'm working on something TOP SECRET at the moment (!) so not much else has been done - but I have done most of Elspeth's back (pitiful really as it's not very big!). Here is a close up of the pattern:
The Top Secret thing will be finished today, and then hopefully I will have lots to show - especially some sewing I've been doing :)

I must buy the yarn for Elspeth soon, I am in love with that pattern - the stitch detail looks gorgeous!

Oops, just realised I made a boo boo... what I meant to say was Top Secret 'sounds' interesting :-)

Ooooooooh! I adore both those patterns. Gemma, actually, was the first to pop out at me. I shoulda known your stylish self would be knitting it. I can't wait to see it!

Aha! I saw you on Cowley Road today, and I didn't know whether to say hello or not, cos I read your blog. Obviously I chickened out! So, hello anyway!

I'm looking forward to seeing the top secret project! The sewing sounds interesting, as always... I love your sewing projects.

Oooh, so pretty. I was talking with two other women today and we are all not usually lace knitters and currently working or about to start on a lace project! Maybe lace is the new sock!

Hi there Chick,
Are you having any problems with Elspeth? I REALLY want to make it but have heard on the grapevine there are issues with the pattern/chart*
Your blog is always SO inspiring*
