My big project right now is Miriam L. Felton's Nefertiti. I've never done anything quite so lacy or so large before so it is really an adventure....a gorgeous, gorgeous adventure.The first 8 repeats are a wavy water pattern with undulating ridges formed by sssk and k3tog. The sculptural quality just enchants me.
I have a bit of a knitterly crush on MLF right now...she might just edge out Ysolda Fever for me.
The yarn is from a local dyer, htNevele. The colorway is elNorro. You can check out her yarns at Lakeside Fibers.
In some related reading news, my boyo and I are reading The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan together. There's a bit less silliness than The Percy Jackson books and Riordan tackles some tough issues like multi-racial families and how people, particularly African-American men, are judged on appearances. There are a lot of great openings for conversations with your child and a great introduction to the mythology of Egypt.
