The Shawls Continue

So in addition to making silly little animals, I have also made several more shawls over the past few months.

The best shawl ever, of all time, is the Marjamets shawl which came out better than I could have hoped. The yarn is from Twist, a lovely grey with a hint of purple, with beads--just perfect!

Pictures do not do it justice--the shape, the size, the drape, all perfect.

And then I improvised another shawl, with the thought that I might publish it, but I probably will not. Too similar both to a previous design and to the pattern which inspired it. I call it Winter Sky:

Little Toys

Oh sure, I've done a lot of things since last January, but right now I just want to upload pictures of two little animal toys that I improvised. The cat is a copy of a design I saw as part of a kit, and the rabbit is my own work entirely.

I plan to make these again, keeping careful notes, and make the instructions available.

There and Back Again

I spent a week in Maine, during which I basically sat in the house and looked out at the amazing ice that sparkled everywhere.

And I knit. I finished Citron in a bright spring green.
And I made an adorable baby sweater for the baby-to-be of a co-worker.
And now I'm ready to go back to school!
