Leaf Lace Shawl…

Done at last!  Friday night I got busy and blocked my shawl.  I’m so pleased with it.  I wish I had made the large shawl now instead of the small one.  For my first shawl I think it turned out pretty well.  I wasn’t real sure about how much to stretch it. 
 
I think in [...]

something new to do…

Because I don’t have enough on my plate just yet… I’ve joined the Mystery Stole 3!  I’m pretty excited about this one.  (See the button on the side of my blog, in the KAL section.) I’ll have to make a trip in to my LYS soon to buy yarn for this project because I want [...]

it’s time to block…

I finished my Lace Leaf Shawl at lunch time today!  I am so excited to have this done, well almost done.  Let’s just say I’m thrilled to have it off the needles!  Now it’s time to block.  However, I don’t have enough pins to do this so I’ll have to stop on my way home [...]

got yarn?

I do! 
I stopped in at The Yarn Corner to pick up more green shawl yarn and I’m happy to say I’m doing the bind off now.  This is a much longer process than I had imagined.  You knit two then slip them back to the left needle and knit them together.  Then knit one, and [...]

I ran out of yarn…

Can you believe this!  I had’nt really been looking in my knitting bag at how low my yarn was getting.  I knew the ball was getting very small but I also knew that I was almost done with my shawl.  I have ONE AND HALF rows left to knit and then the BO row!!!!!  I [...]

getting back to knitting…

I’m feeling better and I’m looking forward to knitting at lunch time tomorrow at work!  I went in to work for half a day today, and then came home to sleep.  I think I have taken too many cold/flu drugs, because now I can’t sleep.
Well I should have some progress to show soon on both [...]

under the weather…

 Well all was going well on Sunday morning, and then things took a quick sharp turn.  By noon I was sick.  I am not good at being sick.  My husband works from home in our office.  This morning between 7 and 10am he decided to check on me about every 45 minutes.  It about drove [...]

It was a great day…

Saturday we had rain, and yet it didn’t seem to make any difference.  W.W.K.I.P. Day was a success.  Our location was the best ever.  Celia and her staff at the Coffee Bean Cafe were wonderful.  The brought us bowls of Chicago Carmel popcorn (very addictive).  First thing I did was get my iced White Chocolate [...]

We are soooo close now…

Only 2 more days until the W.W.K.I.P.D. 
Other knitting things going on right now… 
I only have one more repeat to compete on my shawl before I start the edge!!!  I’m very excited about this.  I have really enjoyed (and am continuing to enjoy) working on this shawl and I’m looking forward to another one.
Yesterday I picked up [...]
