Rain, rain, rain

Lots of it lately, and wind and cooler temps.

Finished the Duchrow. Haven't washed or blocked it yet, its really big, and will be even bigger after stretching.

Moving Along

Only 22 more rows to go on the latest project, its so big one row takes at least an hour, so awhile to go yet. Becoming just as much a fan of Duchrow as Niebling, the oldtime lace desingers are incomparable, and they charted their patterns without the benefit of a computer, pretty amazing.
Still not sure where in the heck I'm going to block this, maybe on the bed and block the dogs from the bedroom?

Fall!!!

Not quite technically yet, but the weather is beautiful, sunny and around 80. Spending as much time outdoors as we can before it gets cold and sloppy.

Nothing new on Mellow, he still has the sore, vet wants to give it a few more weeks to clear up before taking biopsies, but so far it hasn't changed at all. Doesn't seem to bother him. Bothers me.

Started another pattern from Knitted Lace Designs of Herbert Niebling by Eva Leszner, this pattern is a Christine Duchrow according to the editor of the book who is a member of Ravelry and has been really helpful with corrections and other questions about the book.


Am a lot further along then this picture, its going to be large, not sure where I'm going to find the room to block it.
