various knitting projects I've completed lately :)

What'd'a cowl

I made this pattern up as I went along......

it's going to be a cowl (I already know the buttons I'm going to use)

busy little bee am I!

I have been so busy!!! I have knitted yet another shawl (11 of the 12 I wanted to knit this year) and made a scarf and mitts for a friend and yes I even cut my hair soooo short. And I finally finished my Basics part of my 'road to masters' knitting. I mailed it out Friday. I'm super nervous but excited too that I have completed this part of my 'road'

I'm not in love with it.....but I have never knit this pattern before, so I'm hoping I improve for the next time

mitts and scarf

fingerless mitts and matching scarf. The scarf has 3 different stitch designs including a purl/knit stitch argyle pattern.

project is finished!

5 different lace patterns add an open airy feel to this project. Reaching an almost 5ft by 3ft distance, it's small enough to keep the chill off your shoulders and light enough to give you privacy for something like breast feeding (and you can still see your wee one!)

55x35”

(close to 5ft by 3 ft) I think I got carried away.lol

for the past few days (and I stretch it not. It only took a few days) I have been knitting this jewel from "Victorian Lace Today" (one of my favorite lace books). Shoulder Shawl in Syrian Pattern (Rav link)

UNBLOCKED it is wider than I am tall. I can not believe how big this thing is. When I started out I wanted to make sure I used the whole skein so I did just that & ended up using a couple hundred yards finishing and putting a nice frilly crochet edging on it. I am pretty happy with it & I can't wait to see what it looks like blocked...but I dread doing the blocking. I just know I don't have enough pins as it is, and Lord knows I don't have enough wires...but I'm gonna try to "Hugh it up" and make it work *reference to my Daddy & how he can make anything work for him with just a little time & sometimes some duct tape*
