Play it again

If you love a pattern and how it turns out, make it again, right?
I was curious how a pair of toast would knit up using lace weight yarn. Pattern by Leslie. I cast 30 stitches of Malabrigo lace onto my size  3 square dp needles.  I had so much fun watching as the knit fabric unfolded to reveal its silky soft texture.  And I do mean soft.  This pair of toast should have no problem doing as the name implies, keeping the wearer nice and warm.  I’m almost done and plan to gift to my daughter Kristi.  Hope she likes them.


I also worked on a bit of crochet using Madeline tosh DK yarn and a size I hook. This is my second Calm Cowl. Pattern by Suzana.  Such a quick satisfying project. My niece Nicole liked the first one so much I happily let her have it.
