What!? WIPs......MrsPurls...OMG (me laughing at myself)! I actually have WIPs to post!! Let's make this short and sweet!! First up is the Turtle Neck Tube Vest (TTV) by Stephanie Japel. I'm using Cascade 220 in Heather Grey (purchased at Bella Filati)! This is the new black for the Fall!
This is knitting up pretty simple so far. We'll see how it goes as I progress. I hope to finish this in time to wear it with a few outfits I have.
Next up is a Berrocco pattern designed to accenuate your figure in just the right place! Kaiju caught my eye from one of our Charlotte Purls, Wendy (blogless)! Once I saw it...I just had to have it!
Here is my progress on it...
The section on the left is 2 X 2 ribbing with eyelets in the middle. When its done, you'll see them with the I-cord.
Here's a closer look!! I was alittle hesitant about this yarn, because it is a light weight than the berroco yarn, but the more I knit with it, the more I love it....
This was one of my purchases on our Ebony Elite Meetup in Greensboro! This Tahki New Tweed is luscious!! Its 60% Merino Wool, 14% Silk, & 26% Viscose. If you do not have any of this...you must try it!! The tweed has a sophisticated luster!
That's for WIPs.....but there's still more Birthday News!! Can you believe it? Its been a month since my birthday and I'm still celebrating.
Shortly after signing up for Ravelry, I joined the Libra Group! And I was the 100th member! Thank You Carmen for sending such a heart-felt gift. I really needed those stitch markers. Even though I know how to make my own, I just have not had the time. And the PINK and Green journal...is beautiful. I will definitely keep this in my purse, to jot down my thoughts and maybe make lists of yarn and knitting books I need to buy! Thanks again and many blessings for your generousity!!
Well that's it for now....I'll be back soon with FOs!!!
The Kaiju looks like it's coming along nicely and the yarn does look yummy and look at you posting on Wednesday and on the CP blog!

Love the tweed! I got me two balls from This and That, too! I think I will make the Hawkeye Cadet Cap I found on Ravelry with mine.

The New Tweed yarn looks scrumptious. Very nice for the belt. Can't wait to see that finished!

What a great yarn choice for the belt - totally liking the tweed.

I think your yarn color and choice for the TTV is perfect! I like the idea and may have to try it again in Gray! I really love that Berroco pattern. What a great way to stash bust - it is going in my Ravelry que!
