Marianne K. from Finland sent this updated picture of her Lyra at Round 150. As stated with her first picture, Marianne is using yarn Coats Aida cotton #20, and knitting her Lyra on 2.5mm and 3mm needles. Marianne is knitting the square version. At Round 150, Marianne has only 29 rounds to go! Perhaps we'll be seeing a photograph of her completed Lyra soon? Thanks for the update, Marianne. Posted by Picasa

Susan's Lyra, with a close-up of the third set of leaves, the beginning of the flower, and her pretty stitch markers. The orange marker shows the beginning of the round, and the violet marker shows the beginning of the square corner. Thank you so much for these pictures, Susan! Posted by Picasa

Remember Susan K. of Germany? She sent in the first Lyra picture for our blog, and if you scroll down, you'll see her Lyra in its infancy. Susan K. is now Susan G.! Throughout all her wedding planning and the wedding itself, she's been knitting her Lyra, and it's a real pleasure seeing the progress she's made, especially considering all the other events in her life! Congratulations on the marriage, Susan! Posted by Picasa


This is Diane Miller's Lyra, and who better to describe it than Diane herself? She writes, "Oh Happy Days!!! No more double pointed needles for me. Lyra is comfortably on a USA size 1 Inox Express circular needle and my hands and I are happy, happy, happy. The change occurred at row 27 and the needles are 24" long with size 10/2 mercerized cotton yarn in a soft yellow." Diane Miller - Dimity@aol.com As with all our Lyras, I can't wait to see how beautiful this one will be when Diane has finished it. Posted by Picasa
