So, yesterday, after getting my yarn in the mail and finding that it was the same size (almost exactly) as my merino-oro, I decided to go ahead and use size threes on Icarus, just like they say. I mean, I already know I like the look of it. The problem: here's a list of the size threes I have. One pair 3 three 16 inch addis (In MS3). One pair of size three straight needles (in the party lace scarf) and one pair size three dpns (Which obviously I can't use on this project...) So... I bought some addi turbo lace needles. And I LOVE them, with their red cable and gold needles and they're so pointy and perfect... I bought them from the yarn market which is right down the street so I don't have to worry about shipping. (By the way-they let me see their warehouse and let me just say... Oh. My. God.) Last night I caste on and worked the set up rows for the chart. I love the feel of this yarn, it just glides through my fingers and it's so soft... I love this project.
See the needles? Aren't they gorgeous? And here's a close up of the... pathetic 8 rows I have done on Icarus.
And now, for the second part of my post. It's short, but I think you get the point. Never ever, under any circumstances, watch a scary or intense movie while knitting lace. Ever. I'm gonna go work on Icarus now.
