Princess Shawl

I finally have had a chance to take a picture of my Princess shawl progress so far and all I have is 11 repeats of the edging. Slowlly but surely I am making pogress.

Another Week

Well another week has come and gone. Had a great time on Saturday at Julie's dinner party. She seems so happy with her new home.  This was her second family dinner party. I made dessert, a fresh strawberry pie and a chocolate sponge cake.  They made BBQ shredded chicken and chicken breast. Great time with the family.

I've been working on my Princess shawl by Heirloom Knitting. As of tonight I have 10 repeats of the edging completed and am working on my 11th, only 84 more to go.

What a Week

This has been one busy week. Julie finally moved into her new house, she is about 90% moved in. She also had to work 3 days out of the week and moving at the same time was a bit hectic. Spent the entire week with her and/or the boys. It was great spending the time with them, but it was also exhausting.

Thursday we had a dinner party at their new home with her in-laws great fun with the family. But by the time we got home at 9:30/10:00 I was too exhausted to do more than a few stitches of knitting on my LazyLilly or my lace top that I am trying to finish for the second time.

I didn't get meuch time to knit, but I did finally finish my LazyLilly. I will try and block it tonight, but not sure as I'm getting tired. I will also take pictures tomorrow after blocking. It would have been great if I could have taken pictures of it in the snow we had on Saturday, but this morning it is almost all gone. There may still be some patched left by the time a get around to taking pictures of the shawl, but thought it.

I've decided I will work until I finish 15 repeats. Then take a break and work on my lace top which I am trying to complete for the second time. I've comleted one half up to the sleeves. Now working on the second half.

April Fool's Day

It's Been a while since I last posted. It has been another busy year. Helped my daughter start moving into her new house today.

I have also been busy knitting! So far I have completed 5 shawls for my Ravelry 11 shawls for 2011. My lastest finished shawl is one of Moniday Eckert's KAL "Manaus". I made a slight addition to the pattern by adding beads to the edging. I used Regia "Silk" sock yarn and size 7 (4.5 mm) needles.

I have also started another new shawl last night. It is Knitting-Delight pattern LazyLilly. The change I made to this pattern in that I am doing the repeat of the pattern 9 times rather than 7. I have plenty of yarn so I figured I'd make it a bit larger.

Hope to post again a bit sooner that this.
