Celtic Cast On

Pattern: Daybreak by Stephen West

Yarn: Louet Gems in Ferm Green and Regia 4ply Grey

Needles: 3.5mm circs

Start Date: September 24th 2009

Finish Date: October 2nd 2009

The plan to put Daybreak on the back burner lasted  all of 2 seconds, it proved to be a great t.v. knit with lots of stockinette and a few slipped stitches. The colour changes kept my interest enough to keep trucking along and not get bored.

 I decided to go with two plain colours instead of the many variegated daybreak`s I`ve been seeing on Ravelry andI`m pretty pleased with the outcome. I wanted something wearable unlike my clapotis*… *love the yarn I used for it but its so bright it just doesn`t go with anything, its headed to the frog pond soon me thinks* This green and grey combo is a bit more subtle and definitely wearable with all of my jackets.

I`ve worn this a few times already, its proven to be wonderfully warm and will be a great staple in my winter wardrobe.

I can see more scarf shawls in my future!

Two days ago my brother became a Daddy!

Making me an aunt and introducing the first grandbaby to the family.

    She was one week overdue and weighted a hefty 8 pounds 5oz!

This little one and Tadpole are going to be closer in age than we though

I have lots of finished knits to show you that still need to be photographed, so until I get some pictures here’s a look at my newest project.

This is Daybreak by Stephen West of WestKnits. I’m knitting it with Regia 4ply and Louet Gems, its turning out quite nicely but may have to go on the back burner until I knock off the last couple of baby knits I want to get done.
