Nurmilintu – Chroma Pegasus (knitting)

I played yarn roulette at the end… And the skein ran out before the end. So my last lace section only has rows 1-11 and I bound off on row 11.

I may have needed to use smaller needles to get a shawl out of a single ball of Chroma.

It’s not my favori…

I did the leg decreases on the inner part of the thigh… Not sure I like it.

I’m also not sure if I want to try to dye this pair… Never dyed wool before. 😛

I got this yarn from a RedditGifts exchange! I love purple, but I’m not usually in love with pink, so I may end up gifting this if it’s too pink for my wardrobe 😉

Purple Diaper Cover / Soaker, NB (knitting)

Trying this project again with slightly smaller needles to see if I can get a tighter fabric. I’m OK with the project being slightly smaller than the first one.

Because my last one used almost exactly 100g of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, I decided to use a complementary purple partial skein for the waist and leg cuffs, and a full skein for the body. I expect a very small amount of leftover yarn.

Done! And it looks SO much better than my last diaper cover — changing the needle size (and actually using a 16” circular vs fudging it with magic loop) really seemed to help keep the ribbing nice and stretchy.

I ended up with scrap yarn of the partial dark purple ball I had (I lost the label, so the actual color is a mystery), and had about half the ball of Amethyst by the end. I used the teensy weensy scrap of Tidepool Heather from my first diaper cover as an accent before doing the ribbing.
