It's Summertime!

And what better of a thing to be working on than...

a scarf?!

Yep, I've put Orangina down a bit to work on Danica on knitty. When I went to ACMoore to pick the circulars to do Orangina, they were having a sale on Woolease. And since I think Woolease makes a rather nice product considering the high acrylic content, I grabbed three skeins. The bizarre thing is that I didn't remember what colors were used in the pattern, only that I need three different ones. Once I got home I realized that I chose two of the same colors that the original pattern used. At any rate, here is my progress thus far...




I'm really enjoying entrelac even though I haven't gotten to the point where I can do it without glancing at the pattern.

I did get a little further with Orangina...


I love this finished pattern... and I like the fact that I can do the lace without really thinking about it. I think my biggest crux in the pattern, though, is the metal needles. I've gotten so accustomed to my Denises (and my bamboo needles when I have to use dpns) that metal just seems wrong. And since ACMoore had no small size bamboo circs, metal was the only option I had. I am thinking I might head over to my not-so-local yarn store after I get paid next to see if they have wooden needles in smaller sizes.

Happy sunshine, folks!
