These are all going to be "first projects" for me in different categories. The lace tee kit is the only kit I've ever bought in my life. Then there's the Bamboo yarn, a fiber I've never tried. The skeins are a bit messy but I got them with a 30% discount. There's also some Crystal Palace kid merino which I will use to make a lace shawl. Lace is not new to me, but shawls and mohair are. And finally, silk hankies: I've never spun with real silk before, only soy silk. Not included in this picture are the buttons I got for an old jacket of mine.
So, feeling guilt-ridden after all this splurging, I knitted like crazy to finish the baby blanket, and I almost finished the socks for my friend:
I will soon start one of the new projects. Which one? Hmmmmm..... tough choice. Any suggestions?
