Border -

is coming along nicely. I can only admire this pattern, it is so pretty!

I am not letting this fool me though - I know that this border will take forever to knit. And it is likely to eat up all the yarn as well. I hope I managed to modify pattern enough ( made less increases, to take away some of the fullness of hem) so that I have enough yarn in the end...

Olympics are here!

So let me introduce my Ravelympics 2008 project - Lady's Circular Cape by Jane Sowerby (from Victorian Lace Today)
I'm using Parisienne by Colinette in "Castagna".

Here all prep-work done (fortunately I did swatch this time!! had to downsize needles a notch - to 4mm)

and now I'm ready to begin. I just hope I can manage to finish this in time.... It should not be too bad. Demanding yes, but not impossible. Now I can only hope that children stay well and won't get sick and that everything else goes smoothly as well. otherwise - bye-bye deadline.
Here we go!
