Garden shawl

but it’s quite big, so it took me a while to finish it. Got the yarn from a traveling stash. It’s a little coarser than I’d normally like for a lace shawl, but this I wanted as a throw for out on the deck or in the garden, so it needs to withstand some wear and tear, and for that it’s perfect.

Painted Mountain Scarf

I just took out the blocking pins, and I’m very pleased with this little shawlette. It’ll brighten black and will also look good with a jeans jacket. That was a fun yarn to work with, too. I could totally get used to this pattern-testing business. :o)

I just took it off the blocking pins and snapped some pics. I really like how it turned out.

Mostly working, revision, and watching Olympia these days. Oh, and I finally figured out what to do with the Malabrigo that was my birthday present. Scrumbling. A shawl I think. ’nuff said. Have to be off again.

Socks modeled

After trying to crochet socks and finding that doesn’t really work for me, I frogged them and knit them up again. They’re much nicer that way, though I still can’t remember what I was thinking when I bought that yarn.
