Mini-Annis inPurple!

 I finished the annis and love it. Only, I used smaller needles than the pattern. I've started another one with bigger needles in Malabrigo Lace Merino. It should be a fair bit bigger I hope. I'm contemplating using beads instead of nupps.
 Check out the nupps!
Iv'e also purchased /la-moelle vest pattern from Becky Herrick of Sugar Tree Designs. I bought some light green Aran wool fromwww.yarnsoft.com.au/ to knit it with. I'm going to adapt the pattern to fit my shape using the techniques I've learned in my knitting course ://www.craftsy.com/class/Knit-Lab-Projects-Patterns-Techniques/17.
The course with Stephanie Japel is excellent and I'm excited to try what I've learned with La Moelle. I'm also going to make matching fingerless mitts in the same wool (sherwood-mitts). Yes, I know, I have big plans! I am focusing on the malabrigo Annis at the moment though. I love this pattern!
Happy Knitting!:-)
