It doesn’t qualify, of course, since I didn’t finish it until this past Friday, but I DID knit the Laminaria along with the rest of our KAL within a KAL group. It seemed only fitting that I show my completed project (worked in Sponsor’s yarn too). It was a bit breezy out — and even [...]

My Laminaria is off the wires and already had several outings. This week we took the shawl to the most appropriate place I could imagine for a shawl named for kelp – the creek that cuts through our farm.
