Spring Shawl Surprice

Just a quick update. Clue 4 finished 1-28. I have really enjoyed knitting this. If the weather would cooperate I could probably get a better picture.

Boring Sunday

I have finally succumbed to the crud that is going around. I guess it is inevitable when everybody you come into contact with is hacking. I have been knitting on my SSS and I am almost done with clue 4. I'll post a picture when I finished. I have been looking for things for all my swap partners. I love trying to figure out what different people would love. I have to post one off tomorrow. Hope y'all have a great week.

Spring Shawl Surprice

Clue 2 finished. This is a challenging knit for me. Clue 1 went pretty fast but clue 2 is where you start knitting pattern on every row. It was confusing at first but by the time I got to the end it was starting to go pretty. Clue 3 should go pretty fast. I am loving this. I just need to catch up. I would have been okay, but I knit 2/3 of Clue 1 and decided I didn't like my yarn so I had to go to my LYS and get some more. Hope you all are having a great weekend. The sun is shining here.

Knitting and such

No pictures today. I have been working on my Spring Shawl Surprice. I was almost finished with Clue one when I decided I did not like the look of the lace. Back to the store and now I using Malabrigo lace. I really like this yarn. I have been trying to organize my room LOL I do not know if it will ever be just like the picture in my head. Too much yarn and fabric. I love to sew and knit but two stashes is almost too much. Right now I am working on a couple of quilts and a French sewn baby dress for a friend. I forgot how much I really enjoy that kind of sewing. I hope everyone is having a good new year. Pictures next time.
