Ring Around the Rosaries



Yesterday I finished two of the remaining 4 rosaries I have to make. Hopefully I will finish one more this afternoon. I worked on my yarn necklace last night. I am using Art Yarns Beaded Pearl & Sequins yarn in color 193S that I bought at J.J.'s Knitting Knook in Stuart's Draft (just outside of Waynesboro, VA) last fall. I made a friend of mine a necklace and bracelet set out of this yarn, but hers was made out of crochet chains. Mine is an I-cord. I plan on hanging one of those lampworked glass focal drops on it. I have already made a bracelet from this yarn, but think a group of 2 or 3 different width "bangles" might look better. Time permitting, today I would like to cast on for that baby sweater. I am using a yarn that came in one of those Annie's Attic Knitting Club kits that was originally for a baby sack. It is a very pretty soft mint color. The sweater pattern I chose is a baby kimono from the Lion Brand Yarn free patterns website. I have already done my test swatch, and as usual have had to go down one needle size. I knit very loosely. I was told this is because I knit Continental style instead of American style. Or maybe it is just because I find knitting to be very relaxing? LOL
