Long Term Project, Short Term Project, & TNNA
Rachel, Laura and Suzanne are going to be so proud of me when they see this.....
Pattern: Reversible Rib Shawl by Lilly Chin
Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Haze #603 (so old, it has been discontinued)
Needles: #10 & #8 12 inch Lantern Moon staights
Time to complete: THREE YEARS!!!
Comments: How shameful for me to leave this beautiful shawl languishing for that long. Normally, I'm a finish it kind of gal. I started this as a knit along with Rachel and Suzanne, two blog friends who completed theirs in a reasonable amount of time.
Next, my weekend project....
I did this while I was at TNNA this past weekend. Lovin' the crocheted edge (done thanks to the BFF Sheryl). I wish I was wearing it when I met Wenlan (of Twinkle fame)!
Pattern: Feather Scarf from Twinkle's Big City Knits
Yarn: Classic Elite Provence #2627
Needles: #17 straights & N crochet hook
Speaking of TNNA, Sheryl and I had a blast. Sheryl and I did not go looking for yarn due to the fact that we buy from our traveling reps. We did go bag crazy. The Amy Butler's are super fab! There is also a new style of Namaste and a new clear bag that is really cool. We picked up some super stylin' new patterns, and got to see previews of some upcoming books we've been looking forward to (French Girl Knits, Glam Knits, Twinkle's Town and Country Knits, Custom Knits). Not as much colorwork as the last show. We saw a lot of jackets/cardis.

This takes me back to the real definition of the word AWE-some.
Glad you guys had a good time!
The shawl is gorgeous. Wear with pride!
That shawl is GORGEOUS!
Rachel says " I cannot believe it took you three years to finish that because you knit so much! My favorite part on the shawl is the cables."
Hanna says " I think it is very pretty. I like the cables too. And I liked the color."
Mom says "Good job. I am so happy that you got it done. It is beautiful and I know you will get lots of compliments on it."
The shawl is absolutely beautiful, so light and airy. I love the scarf too, red being one of my fave colors.
YAY! you finished it!!!
It looks amazing! That's one way to sell KSH :) Congratulations!
Just checking in after a long absence and I find the reversible rib shawl is complete. Has it really been three years?
