Alpine Shawl

This is my Alpine Shawl, made from JaggerSpun Zephyr in Coral. It's about 75% finished. I've been working on it for a while now. I had to stop and order more yarn because I ran out. Now I am just trying to finish up some other projects before I dive back in.

A Handsome Triangle

Made in silk from Colourmart, which turned out to be really hard to photograph well. And I didn't have enough pins for the blocking, so the edging got kind of pointy... I'll see if I try again.





On the first repeats I thought "I'll never learn this". But I soon got the hang of it, and knitted most of the shawl on my daily train ride to work. The last repeats were just boring.

There are details on Ravelry.

Scarf with French Trellis

I finally got this blocked...a great, fast knit and I am very happy with the final results!

Done done done! After the disaster with my cat, I finally picked up the needles and re knitted again. It took me a while to figure out the edging and at the end I didn't use dpns to knit the edging but with circ needle by picking up the edging first then knit the edging pattern.

It was fun to knit this shawl.

Maltese (Madness) Shawl

I knew the minute I saw this shawl, I would make it for my sister. There was just something about it that screamed her name to my ears. However, it was a challenge from beginning to end and was nearly the death of me! First, I couldn't get the color right and started it three times with three different yarns. Then, there was no rest row, a border that wouldn’t end and when the end was nearly in sight…a mistake! Not only did I end up ripping off the entire border, I had to reknit some of the actual body as well (don't frog when frustrated!).

I have never been so glad to get a project off my needles! It’s lovely but I’m convinced that only because it was for my dear sister is it a FO and not still a WIP! But she loves it and I’m glad it’s done.

Half Curved Shawl frogged

I was this close to finishing the main body of Half Curved Shawl with Diamond Edging with shy of 3 repeats of chart A. I had to rip it off because my cat jumped on me on a WRONG TIME. I lost sts at the end about 10-15sts. Couldn't take the frustration, so decided to frog it all.



But now at the 2 repeats of chart A. I must say, it's going a lot easier because I kind of memorized the st pattern.
