KWTP Rainbow Coast hitchhiker finished

http://www.ravelry.com/projects/peacockmom/hitchhiker-2

Lots of details about this project on my Rav page. After using 3.5 skeins of Intense Rainbow for this shawlette sized scarf, I'm still in love with this yarn. I have worn this a few times and feel it is a big success. :)

kwtp Sakaki finished here and blocking :)

I don't like the blocking wires and also prefer a curvier shawl shape, so pinned, patted, measured, etc until I liked the way it looked. I had 3 balls of mini mochi in the Tapestry colorway and had 62 gms left. I'm hoping to make a hat for my friend's birthday in early June and also add another kwtp project using the leftovers. :) She was here for Easter and thought the yarn was gorgeous. (It is). I never tire of knitting with this yarn. Inside top measurement tip to tip is 54" and the center back is 11".

kwtp update at 50% of Sakaki

The color of Tapestry Rainbow mini mochi is much prettier than my camera shows in this light during a rainstorm here. This is at the 50% point and fortunately I had put in a lifeline to show Debbie (Ding of the Bell sisters) how close it is to using up the first skein. I have 1 gm left from the middle of the middle section.

So glad I put in the lifeline because at the end of the next repeat, I realized my stitch count was off. Errrrrrghhh, but the lifeline saved the day. I am tempted to get back to my Intensive Rainbow mini mochi coquille after seeing Tracy's, but think I need to get this one back on track. I love using this yarn and never tire of the colors surprising me. They aren't in any particular order and I like the random aspect of it. That also lets me fiddle if I need to in splicing colors to emphasize the ones that are my favorite. Any guesses? LOL

kwtp mini mochi Sakaki

Romi Hill's new pattern for Japanese earthquake relief. I will omit the leaves in the back for this one using Tapestry Rainbow colorway #105. I am still entertained with the color changes in mini mochi. I'm also knitting Coquille in mini mochi Intense Rainbow. :) I live on the Rainbow Coast as our area is known and see rainbows almost daily.

kwtp "Pick Your Wrap"

Pattern is from our own Debi! Lovely scarf and/or shawl. I'll be doing the scarf version using mini mochi. It is April 1st here (actually late afternoon as I submit this) and I will begin it tomorrow when it is the 1st for the rest of you. :) I'm also doing the Coquille shawl and working on another shawl which will be a future prime time entry. Guess I'm back on my shawl kick again. :)
