I’ve completed Winter Project #1 – NOEL letters. That was a fun little knit, but they still need to be made up!
Winter Project #1 NOEL Letters
Here’s my second Winter Project, a simple Lace Edging. I wanted to knit something quick and easy, and this little lacy strip was just the thing. I haven’t quite decided what to use it for yet, but I imagine one of the kids will appropriate it pretty quickly!
Winter Project #2 Lace Edging
I have cast on for my February Lady Sweater. Knitted using Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk Aran, on a 4.5mm needle. I actually cast-on a couple of days ago, tried a new buttonhole technique, and then ended up ripping it back a couple of times. Then, when I was finally satisfied with the buttonhole, and made some progress, I realised that there was an early mistake with the increases and, more worryingly, I’d realised that I’d been merrily doing kfb increases, when I should have been alternating kfb with a mirrored kfb. So I frogged the lot.
Beginning with a brand new ball of yarn, I cast on for the second time! My increases are all in the correct places, my button hole is satisfactory, so I reckon I’m good to go. Hopefully I’ll start making some progress now!

The little lace edging is beautiful! I have been considering trying to add a little lace detail to the border of some napkins or tea towels… that pattern would do nicely.
Your Noel letters look like a ton of work; but they’re going to be showstoppers once you get them all made up. I’d scoop up that lace edging in a heartbeat 🙂
Yes, your letters are soooo lovely. It will be very interesting to see them when you will finish… Your lace edging is lovely too, a pretty idea. I hope you can work on your lady sweater without any other complication. (I’ll keep the fingers crossed!) Greetings from germany. Sabine.
I love your letters! I must look into that set myself. And the lace edging would be lovely on a pillow case, along the bottom of a shade, tacked onto a mantle? All kinds of thoughts.
