More finished knitting

I finally blocked my Glam Shells shawl.  It is made out of a Debbie Bliss silk in a lime green color.  It is beautiful on the dress form and beautiful on me.

Another finished shawl and some better pictures

Dinner at the Eiffel Tower is finished and blocking.  I knit this shawl using most of two skeins of Caron Simply Soft.  It is a gift for a co-worker who is having a baby.  She can wear it herself or use it as a baby blanket.

I took some better pictures of Afternoon Tea this afternoon.  It looks much better on the dress form than it did draped over the back of a chair.  People who see me wear it covet one of their own which I think is quite a complement.

Lace Knitting

I have gone back to lace knitting and have finished two projects.  The only one that is blocked and ready for photographs is my Afternoon Tea Shawl.  I used two Zen Yarn Garden sock club yarns.  The top is in a two ply merino from the Art Walk Sock Club in color Giverny.  The lower portion is in a superwash merino/nylon blend from one of the semi-solid clubs.

The shawl is light weight, soft and beautiful.  Both my teenage daughter and my calico cat like it so much that they don't want to give it back to me.
