Oh Noes! Ravelry is down for the next 20mins whatever will I dooooooo!

Update my blog apparently :)

So having finished my wedding shrug I'm able to cast on a new project (keeping to my 3 proj max) and seeing as summer is creeping up on us in the southern hemisphere I've finally begun a Rusted Root in Lion Brand Cotton Ease, colourway Stone:





I'm treating it more like a normal top down raglan and omitting the puffy sleeves look. Its coming along nicely and the leaf motif is making the sea of stockinette a little more bearable. The lacy bit is okay as long as I don't fuck it up. Usually I don't realise that I've fucked up until two rows later (there's the usual knit all stitches on every odd row of the pattern) which is a little tedious but its going to be a good summer top, even if I'll have to wear a Cami underneath it cos of the yo's in the lace.

Although I haven't blogged about it I'm almost done on a Something Red - Finally! after having it in my queue for EVA. All I have left is the button band.... which I've frogged twice now. The first time I fucked up and used the wrong needle size, I was going to keep going but it looked a little loose and ultimately I buggered the short rows and they looked ugly so i frogged it. The second time I didn't pick up stitches right to the bottom edge aaaaand didn't notice until a couple of rows in that it looked kinda odd :(





After that I put it down and kept working on the Rusted Root for a while.

Hey Wadda ya know Rav's back... CurlyToot out :)
