It’s too bad my knitting mojo didn’t kick in until the end of April, I didn’t get nearly as much done as I’d hoped. I did have fun getting back into lace knitting and I have a couple of shawls planned for the summer. Ellen Cowl – 75 yds Alpaca Fan – 400 yds Brown [...]

I finished the Ellen cowl I made for my daughter. This came to 75 yds. of 8 ply cashmere. I did not finish the Alpaca Fan shawl I started earlier in the season. I kept putting this off for other things. I had planned on finishing it this weekend, but opted for family time instead. [...]

I cast on one small project for today. This is an Ellen cowl in Jade Sapphire 8ply cashmere for my daughter, because she is so sweet!

I waited all day for the sun to come out, but I see it isn’t going to happen. I finished my second 198 yds. of Heaven. I really like the lace pattern, it is easy to memorize and doesn’t even need stitch markers. 199 yds. Jade Sapphire 8 ply cashmere.

I wanted to see how this pattern will work out before I use some cashmere for it, so I cast on with some of my handspun. 198 yds. of heaven

I finished my hand spun Swallowtail for my sister. The yarn is actually almost white, not gray as in the pictures. This is such an nice pattern, one of these days I’m going to make the larger version so it is a full size shawl. 356 yds. hand spun Shetland. 53″ x 21″
