Yet Another Interruption

After completing Poppy's Dandelion mittens on the cruise,

I knit another VEVO with the Rowan Felted Tweed I had purchased on the cruise (not sure which yarn shop or which town).

I blocked it and it's dry now. The points don't pull out as well with DK yarn as they do with fingering. Also I used a suggested eyelet border (Larissa's) which is included in the pattern, after the cast on but forgot to do it again before binding off. Oh well. It is nice and snuggley.

I borrowed Poppy's 4mm knitting needles for this, and cast on the smaller size as I was using larger yarn. 

As I've probably mentioned before, this is an excellent project for that one,random, lovely ball of fingering weight or DK weight yarn. 

As a review, here are the others I've knit with either fingering weight, or two strands of laceweight plied together.

2 plies of Yarns Lang Merino 400 lace:
2 plies of Anzula Wash My Lace:

Toft's Lace Weight British Baby Alpaca Yarn:

Sometimes you just need something to keep the back of your neck warm. VEVO is perfect for this. The finished item is soft and light and easily jammed into a coat pocket without taking up too much room.

I'm off to drop off my taxes. Coincidentally there is a yarn shop in the same town that I haven't visited in eons.
