Lotus Bloom

What a most excellent weekend! It had much knitting and even something a little something knitting related but off by *this* much...

First the direct knitting.
I got to spend Friday evening with my knitting pals. I love that knitting group. It's such a great group of ladies and the place we meet is so tolerable of our noisy joviality (even though it's a book store).

I spent the evening getting through the lace part of the Lotus Blossom Tank. I love how this bamboo is knitting up. If you've ever had the chance to knit with this but passed on it I highly encourage you to reconsider. Beautiful stuff. The fabric drapes so nicely. The solid colors are gorgeous too if you aren't into variegated yarns. Here's a nice close up of the lace pattern (please ignore any mistakes you may spot... I'm denying their existence anyway).

And the progress to date. As might be expected the stockinette is going much slower than the lace pattern was. It makes good knit group knitting now though.

I just wish it was done as I'm still obsessing over starting a few new projects. Imagine that.
