Knit Diary

I lurked along with SavannahChik's Rowan River Knit Along. Here's my finished River. I like her.

You can also wear her as a scarf:

Specs for River are as follows:
Yarn: 2 balls Misti Baby Alpaca Lace in Aubergine (#9311), which I purchased online from Little Knits
Needles: US#10 bamboo
Notes: I held the yarn doubled throughout to give it some weight. This yarn is beautiful. So soft and plush. I didn't stray from the Rowan pattern at all except for the yarn.

River is a birthday gift for my best friend. I'm having lunch with her today; I hope she likes it.

Here's a picture of the back of my Mia Shrug:

Also some goodies I got from Wildfiber while I was in Santa Monica:

I got a cool canvas bag and some Noro Kajuku in Color #18 and some Koigu PPM in colors from top to bottom 802, 416,823,135,522. I've been wanting to knit a Charlotte Shawl for the longest time. I think that's what I'll cast on for once all the holiday knitting's done.
