In Progress

My life as well as my knitting. I've been trying to figure out the new computer and how to find and post my pictures. We'll give it a go and see what happens. I've been working on a proposal to reconfigure my job. A business person I'm not! I'm hoping what I have done will convince those that need convincing. We'll see how that goes in the next few weeks.

I finally stopped procrastinating on the wedding shawlette for M. I have ripped back more than any other project. Luckily the yarn is holding up well and I think, make that I hope, that I finally have figured out the rythm of the pattern. Here's an in progress photo.

The Summer Shawlette in Sunshine Yarn's Sunsilk (Powder)

I'm hoping that when it's done it will be perfect. Isn't that what you want in a garment for a wedding? The blue fabric underneath the shawl in progress is the wedding color, remember Penn State blue and white? I think the shawl will bring the blue in gently and complement things well. I hope M loves it.

I'm also working on a scarf in Blue Heron's Metallic Rayon in the Blue Grass colorway. I am LOVING this yarn. It is so smooth and luxurious feeling. All of their colors are beautiful. This one has a hint of gold in the fibers. I'm usually not a sparkly person but this is just soo pretty. I bought another skein in the Melon colorway, no sparkle but just as beautiful. I'm hoping to make the Flower Basket shawl or the Candle Flame shawl with it when other projects are done (see last post) are completed.

Kim over at Butterfly Yarns has been delving into some dyeing. Seems everything she does comes out beautifully. I got her to part with one of her first skeins of wool/tencel sock yarn last night. The colors are just so pretty and summery. Not sure exactly what pattern I'll use this for. Right now I think I'll just sit and appreciate it. She was so good to part with it. You can look at my picture Kim if you miss it. I'll treat it well!
