Save Lady Eleanor!!!

Sooo the moth update…

So I put her in the freezer, didnt hear or see anything after the shake. When I got home that night I sat down to repair the two holes and found two more that for sure were not there earlier. So, In a attempt to save anything I cute off about 6 inches that seemed to be the focus of whatever was going on. Put her in a trashbag in the freezer for till I got back from Ireland. (Sad I really wanted her to go with me :-()

When I got home last night I took here out to have a look. No new holes good news. Just to be on the safe side I nuked her a few times as well. So I am now in the process of getting the stitches back onto the needle to add a few more rows. The extra yarn also went into the freezer and will be nuked before I add it. So, hopefully I have managed to stop whatever was going on and save the Lady Eleanor.

It was really strange because I couldn’t see anything! Whatever was having dinner was microscopic! There was absolutly nothing there but new wholes were popping up. So I am going to go out today and invest in some mothballs.

Ugghh Please say it aint so!

Ok I need prayers right now! I finished and soaked the Lady El this weekend. I was showing her to a co-workder this morning and she noticed a hole already! I was a bit worried with some of the sections of yarn because the seemed very thin. So I asked Kate who did the same shaw with the same wool if she had problems with thin spots breaking. She told me what I described sounded more like moth damage! Crap! So under her direction I have put the lady in a trash bag in the freezer and we will give her a shake later and hope nothing falls out. I couldn’t really see anything web like on it but who knows she has been all over the place.
UGGHHHHH!!!!!

Yes I is still alive!

Ok so I know it has been a few days :-) (OK 3 Months SORRY!) But that of coarse means I have just been crazy busy knitting right? I wish, I have had all sorts of madness going on in my life at the moment. But Here I am with updates to boot! So lets get going on those update!

First and most important, Lady Eleanor II, She is actually even bigger then in this picture. In fact she is 5 skeins away from being finished. She will be finished before my big trip in 11 days!

Close up of Lady Eleanor to admire her beauty!

This is a scarf for my host for my big secret trip :-D Didn't want to go empty handed, so that has to be finished before I go as well

Close up, nothing fancy but looks nice

And this project is actually finished I need to get pictures of the final product it is a cute little shrug that has a cable that runs from cuff to cuff across the back.

So I have made some progress on a few things. Iwill try and post a few more updates soon!

Lady Eleanor Two

Lady Eleanor Two Is on its way. Iam 3 skeins into it with it measuring I would say about 16"s so far. I am a little worried about the size. It is not as wide as I would like but according to kate It will grow when I block it. So I will keep my fingers crossed.

Cable Socks are finished!


I'm pretty happy with them. The fleece artist was excellent to work with. I would use it again for sure :-)!

Noro Iro purchased at MDSW

It was 50% off and lets face it Iove my Noro!
