What I've Been Working On

I just realized that it's been almost two months since I've posted anything crochet related. I've started about five new projects and finished about three...not so bad.
Julia Vaconsin's Basic Mitts

I also completed a South Bay Shawl in the Red Heart Unforgettable. I think this is the Winery colorway.?
It needs blocking and better photos

This is my latest...
the dreaded Noro
I am proud of myself because I have waited two years to use this yarn again. This time I am using the Taiyo sock in the S9 colorway from Knotanotherhat. I just couldn't resist. This will be another Elise. One of these days I will come up with a shawl pattern. It's just hard to beat the Elise pattern, but I am getting pretty burned out on it.

To find these patterns just click on the links in blue.

      Thank you. It is gorgeous, but beware, it's the most frustrating yarn I've worked with. The colors are just too beautiful to resist for certain projects like shawls that look great with the striping effect.

    I love the color you used for the mitts. And your shawls are beautiful, too :-) Good luck with the Noro yarn. I've never tried it but heard mixed emotions about it.

    I think the Elise pattern is gorgeous with that Noro yarn, and I understand how you feel about it. I have made six of them and I am tired of them, but you can not beat it for simplicity and beauty. I need to try the South Bay Shawlette, I ahve the pattern printed out and ready to go.
