WIP: NeckPieces

Things have been pretty quiet from me as I spent most of what was a national holiday at work watching planes.Unlike almost fifteen thousand other people who braved what is now Tropical Storm Emily to dance, drink and do de dog, I was working or at home sleeping.

I was also however, knitting which is my idea of Carnival - providing it goes well. I have been in a knitting funk lately and devised a plan to get me out of it.


My solution was to make simple neck pieces and try to finish the not so simple ones. I also took around my surrounding to appreciate what I have been ignoring while in my funk and discovered that their is still two thriving peppermint plants in my pots though I have been ignoring them. The rain of the last few weeks have helped them even as it hampered me. You have be thankful for everything.

With out further rambling here are my projects:

First we have the Raspberry and Cream Skinny Scarf. Made from 100% cotton it's great for adding a zing to your wardrobe in the hot summer weather.

Wrapped several times around.

Wrapped it to cover my ears here.

 Next in line we have the Bamboo Bodangle. It is made from a cotton-Bamboo mix that is super soft when worked up and also for cool weather. It is the perfect neck piece to jazz up that little black dress or add color to a cream jumper. It still needs to be fitted with a closing mechanism but truthfully a shawl pin would work fine.

Very bright and uplifting.

Following that we have the Braided Necklace. Made from a simple cotton-acrylic, it showcases very subdued colors and a rugged texture. It would be perfect for turning a plain T-shirt or outfit into something memorable. Best of all it is light weight when worn and won't keep you hot. It also needs to be finished and my friend Dana is helping me formulate a macrame still join.

Here it is worn.

 That's all for now folks. I'd love to have new pieces to show in my FO Friday since these are almost finished WIP it wouldn't make since to fill up an FO with them. I have been lazy about posting but at least I managed to make it today.

And here is my final words for the morning:

Stop, Stare, Breathe.
