October Knit Something of the Month

 

I know it's already October 11 and I haven't shown you my Knit Something of the Month project for this month, but I haven't forgotten about it.  In fact, I'm binding off now.  I started it last Wednesday or Thursday and since garter stitch is easy even for sick people, I plowed through the first section pretty quickly.  By the time I was ready to start the lace I was feeling better, so I just kept going.  Now I'm just past the halfway point of the bind off.

 

Oh, what is it?  It's Celaeno from Romi's first ebook.  I used Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Lepidoptra.  I didn't put beads in the top garter section because I didn't have enough beads (and the being sick), but I did bead the lace section as it was charted.  I also skipped the last lace row on the chart because of yardage issues, but the pattern still works out without that row (I think).  Once I finish binding off, I'll get it blocked so Logan can wear it.  The silly puppy was hopping and dancing around yesterday morning, trying to model my Austin Hoodie, so I know he'll be happy to wear Celaeno.
