Here is my new finished shawl! It's called Over the Moon. It's 56 inches across and 26 inches wide at the spine. It's from the book Sock-Yarn Shawls. The author, Jen Lucas, is wonderful! I was having problems with another pattern. I contacted her with my problem and she figured out what I was doing wrong. My frustration was over! She was a delight to speak with.
I'm going to try and hold off knitting until the fall. I have so much machine quilting to do. I end up getting obsessed with a knitting pattern and never quilting! I'm also so behind reading books and magazines. I'll try to keep from knitting but not sure I'll be successful at that!
Love your shawl and the stitch is very pretty. Looks like the yarn colour is one of Lily's favourites! so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol! It was a fun pattern to quilt. Lily enjoyed it too!
DeleteLove your shawl. Hadn't heard of that book. I'll have to try to find it. While I love knitting socks, I also love knitting other things with sock yarn.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The book is great, Dora. I love knitting socks but am much more enthusiastic for the first sock than I am for the second! The shawls are gorgeous in the book.
DeleteThis one is quite pretty, and I'll bet it's soft too.
ReplyDeleteShawls are so much fun to knit.....no sleeves!
I bought that yarn at Fabric Place! I never seem to fit knitted items very well. So much easier without sleeves!
DeleteGorgeous shawl Rosemary! Lily looks like she is having a great time. My Lhasa Apso will play and snarl up my yarn if I leave it on the floor. Pets are so funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanie! Lily follows me all over the house so I guess she likes to knit and quilt too!
