In the studio - filet crochet

Scarf, crochet, wool and cotton, size B aluminum crochet hook

The filet crochet progress - the shell border is taking shape nicely and the colors are superb.  I'm always fond of Noro colors and this yarn is no exception.

The one difficulty is that that yarn knots and knots and knots when pulled from the center of the ball.

I started this weeks ago but my interest in it has returned now that the baby blanket has been completed.  My plan is to make it rather long and add substance by making a dense ruffle for the border.  I have another ball of the yarn, so I'm sure there'll be enough to make the ruffle, which won't be wide, but will be sort of heavy.

Art crit night with my knitting and Finished baby binkie

I took my knitting to art crit night to see what my guild members would say.  There were positive comments yet I could tell that they were having a hard time fitting it into what they would call art.

The baby binkie is wonderful and soft and went to a baby who loves binkies.  What could be better?
