the 24 days of advent have been succeeded by the 12 days of christmas, and i am plugging away, slowly but surely, at my advent calendar knitalong. it's such a fun knit, because it never gets boring. once you get tired of a lace repeat, you do your transition rows and move on to the next beautiful pattern (she has used traditional estonian lace stitches). above, a clip of days 1-5, featuring my first nupps on day 2. they don't really show up much on this colorway, but it's been fun doing them nonetheless.
here's the whole thing up through day 8 (so 1/3 complete), wrapped around a european size pillow (26" wide). i used weed-whacker line for blocking wires to stretch it out. it worked pretty well! we had beautiful sunlight this morning, but it has clouded up this afternoon. i was hoping for a better picture; however, the color is pretty true. click on the picture to see much bigger.
this is how i'm tracking rows on the kindle -- with notes. on this note, i've just completed row 12.
