Lace Ribbon WIP
I'm working on two things at the moment- the Cornish Shawl and the Lace Ribbon Scarf from Knitty. I'm really enjoying this as a lace knit- it's producing a lovely geometric pattern that suits my asthetic. And after the initial traumas about how on earth do I knit twice into a 2YO (the answer- just do it and it'll start to look okay a few rows on- don't worry about any weird loops that form, they stretch out in the end), its coming along nicely and is easy to remember. Because it calls for thicker yarn than the usual lace weight, it is also knitting up pretty quickly.
Knit in a silk mohair mix, hand dyed, bought from a small shop/studio on the Isle of Skye some years ago (with Glittr as my enabler ;) )

Ooh, I'm working on that scarf too (in my case, using Handmaiden Swiss Mountain silk cashmere, yummy!). It's ever so pretty, but slightly harder work than my normal knits - that is, I can't do the stitches without looking. So it's not going terribly fast. Pretty, though.

That's looking very pretty indeed! What a nice use for that yarn too.

looks beautiful, I think I remember seeing a similar yarn in Glittr's stash from that Skye trip and being mucho mucho jealous.
