Behold! A red blob!

It's not much to look at yet, is it? But there you have it, the beginning of the next Trilce. I'm using Lamb's Pride Bulky this time, in the Spice colorway. I was able to match the gauge I got with the Manos of the first version using the same needle sizes, so I'm officially calling Lamb's Pride Bulky a good sub for this pattern. My wonderful tech editor has already done her tech edity thing with the pattern, and my wonderful test knitter has done her test knitty thing. So once I finish test knitting the size I'm making this time (40"), the pattern will be ready for release into the wild.

Sorry it's taken so long. I know a number of you wanted the pattern quite a while ago. Not much longer now! This pattern takes all of a weekend to knit up (if you don't have young kids). I don't get enough knitting time to get this one done quite that fast, but it shouldn't be TOO long now.

Yay red blob! Dumb comment, I know, but those words came out of my mouth, aloud, when I saw it. What a sweet, hearty sort of color.
