I’m not sure that many of you knew about Pierre. Pierre was my LeClerc loom that stood faithfully by while I igmored it for knitting and even another loom (rigid heddle). I have no excuse. Many months ago I made a half-hearted attempt to find Pierre a loving home where he would be more cherished and used as more than a cat jungle-gym. Then I get a phone call about a month ago from a lady that just took a weaving lesson at the shop and had heard about Pierre. She fell in love instantly and took him away today. I’m sad yet happy for Diane and Pierre. May they live a long and happy life making beautiful things together.

to become a beautiful scarf. Well, hopefully. You never know until it gets cut off the loom and washed.
The black is a very tiny rayon chenille. Really soft. I think it gives it a little class.
In other news…picked my cashmere socks back up (last blogged about here). I’ve turned the heels (working on both at the same time on seperate needles) and am an inch or so up the cuff. They fit like a dream. I’ve actually toyed with making them knee socks (by going up in needle size as needed) but I also think that these are my only chance for January socks for SAM5. So we will see.
Again, no pictures, but I started a Puzzle Pillow Blanket (Handknitting with Meg Swansen) for my niece. Pink and purple, of course. Almost done with the first square.
I need to pick up my Minimalist Cardigan again and finish it so I can move onto a sweater for J. Have you guys seen Tiennie’s creation? The Fog Sweater Gorgeous! So its between that one and Cobblestone. If I did the Fog Sweater I would probably have to make it crewneck or a mock turtle. J is weird about turtlenecks.
Bought the yarn to make Gwen the other day. Somebody please take my cc away! I chose a beautiful bright red. I hope that it looks ok on me. Who knows when I’ll get to it.
OK, back to the socks. I have yarn on its way from the Socks that Rock Club. Oy!
