vanessaramaIt's a little while since I've done one of these. Some of it's behind a cut to spare you from image-heavying.
First, a shawl/scarf/shawlette!
This is 'Milkweed' by Laura Chau, made in Sundara Sock in 'Night Blossom' colourway.
Second, socks! Being a huge dag, I looked to my current fandom for inspiration in sock knitting.
Here's Morgana.
The yarn, from an indie dyer, was called 'Avalon', so I knew I had to do something Arthurian-themed with it, even before I got into Merlin :) The pattern is 'Escher' from 'Knitting Socks With Handpainted Yarn'.
It's Morgana because the colours reminded me of the blues and purples she wore a lot in first season, and also because the rib pattern looks like a series of pathways which keep crossing so you're never sure which one you're on. Appropriate for Morgana, I thought.
Here's Morgause:
The yarn is Fleece Artist Trail Socks in Wine and the pattern is Interlocking Leaves from Knitty. They're Morgause because of the colour (matching her red dress from 'Sins of the Father') and also because the pattern as I see it contains both shields and leaves, appropriate for Morgause's warrior and magic sides.
Finally, here's the sock yarn leftovers blanket so far:
There are now 119 squares. I took![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
verylisa's advice and began knitting at least some of the ends in as I go. All I'm left with now is two black ends per square, which I use to reinforce the corners. It's coming along wonderfully and it's very warm.
