[...] Amy recently blogged about the lack of WIP blogging lately, and I definately agree. I’m going to try to get back to blogging my WIPs, but for now here’s another FO. [...]

I love reading about other’s works in progress, but I generally stink at posting about my own : ) Thanks for making an effort to show us the process (I will try to do more of it, too).

The Sundara yarn is stunning in the Cleopatra pattern – with a wonderful, subtle variegation that doesn’t obscure the lace.

I have to agree, you look wonderful, and your shaped v-neck sweater works really well with a belly : )

P.S. Great Beret and cooky flat-knit socks duo… and Jacob’s socks, too! …and everything else : )

It’s so odd, I was just thinking today, after I posted a FO on my blog, that I miss WIP posts. I don’t do them any more. I got distracted along the way, became starstruck by blogs that are more like catalogues than diaries, and decided my own queries and bumblings weren’t blogworthy. Yet the blogs I like reading most are as much about the process as the product. I’m pleased I read this; heartening and affirmative.

Awwwww, you look wonderful!
And I’ve just added the Cleopatra wrap to my ever-lengthening queue, thanks to you! It’s veeeery pretty.

Sometimes WIP posts just don’t happen do they, things just appear! I am going to make more of an effort to post more infomativly. My blog is so all over the palce at the moment!

One nice thing about hearing about your WIPs is so I know that beautiful things don’t just jump instantly, effortlessly from your needles! Puts my own setbacks in perspective to know that others are human, too. :)

I’ve noticed the same thing with my blogging. Much less WIPs. I don’t know if it’s a Ravelry effect. By the time I’ve taken photos and uploaded to Flickr and Ravelry, I feel like I’ve already shared and get too lazy to blog about it. I do agree that I like to hear about the whole “journey” of a project though, and I should definately try to get back into WIP-blogging.

Your Cleopatra wrap looks gorgeous! I’ve been on the fence about my skein lately, but that’s just stunning.

Your Cleoptra wrap is looking wonderful. What a great start! As far as WIP posts – I think we all try, but feel like “ohh we’re so close to an FO” and then we put it off like a diet we’re about to start. Thanks for the post.

The Cleopatra Stole is going to be gorgeous. Do you think it would look good in a variegated yarn? I have a hank of Claudia Handpainted Silk Lace.
I could not agree more about posting WIP shots. I have definitelly become lazier since the arrival of Ravelry.
