(Topic: Knitting) Hi Friends! Yet another update on how the shawl is progressing. Well, I completed the body of the shawl and have moved on to the edging. The edging is made up of 30 (!) leaves, each knitted alongside and connecting to the body of the shawl, along the outside (not the neck) edge.

WIP Green Leafy Shawl part 2
(Topic: Knitting) Dear Friends, Bit by bit! My time for knitting comes in awkward chunks right now, so my work progresses in fits and starts. That said, I’ve managed to finish the body of my shawl! Knitting in the car. The stitch markers are every time I turn before the end of a row, leaving
WIP Leafy Shawl
(Topic: Knitting) Hi Friends, A year ago, at a professional conference I attend, a colleague of mine let me know that there was a small yarn shop within walking distance of the hotel – and that she’d be taking me there the next day at lunch. Oh dear, oh woe, what hardship! (joking) I ended

Prayer Shawl 1, and a Sunflower

Doll Hat
Doll Hat Nothing fancy, just a little something I threw together for my friend-nephew, for his new doll. Acrylic yarn. Should have made the circumference a tad bigger (it’s a bit snug) but otherwise, it’s just knitting and decreasing. Plus a pompom.
