I'm BAD for Blogging!

I'm still alive!

I'm still knitting!

I'm loving my new kitchen!

I'm spending too much time reading other's blogs,which leaves no time to update my own!

I'm really bad about blogging!

I'm getting DSL on Monday!

I'll try to do better!

I'll try not to read others blogs until mine is updated.

I'll be able to have my laptop on the bar in my new kitchen to upload pictures.

I've finished 2 shawls and 2 scarves since my last post.

I've started the Branching Out scarf from knitty.com.

I've started the Kiri Shawl from knitting across the ponds blog.

I've sent the lace shawl (peach)from my on-line class at needlecraftuniversity.com to my Mother-in-law.

I'm sending the VERY ugly scarf I made (pictures maybe next week?) to my neice for her birthday. Will tell her she can use it as a scarf or if it's too ugly, as a tow rope for her car.

I've updated - till next time.

Here's what I did on my vacation last week. 

The V at the end of the shawl. Blurry photo, but the only closeup I took. 

I call this my Rainbow Sherbet Shawl. It's a cotton/acrylic yarn from Plymouth Yarn called Bella Colour. It's much prettier than this picture shows but we haven't had any sun in a couple of weeks so the pictures aren't coming out so well. The pattern is from the book by Nancy Wiseman called Shawls, Scarves and Stoles. The name of the pattern is Wigwam Shawl. Very easy and fast. I love it. 

Not a great picture, but this is the shawl (don't look at the model). Isn't it a beautiful pattern? Can't wait to do it again!

My Needlecraft University Triangle Shawl Class was well worth it and I loved figuring out how to work lace from a chart. This is my first project working from a chart and my first lace shawl. I did it in an acrylic yarn in peach, but want to do it again in a wool blend so the edging will block out better. This is the finished shawl on the blocking board. 

Not much blogging but lots of knitting to show!

What do you use a knitting needle for?
