Finally!!

I was hoping I would have more time to keep up on my blog, but it is hard to fine time.

But I did finish my Folk Shawl knit together. It is the Peddlers Shawl.

I made it from some Merino I had. It is so soft! I dyed it in greens,blues and left some white. It spun up great and it is so light and delicate. I thought it would be alittle bulkier when I was knitting it, but after blocking it came out light and airy. I am thinking that maybe I should have done alittle more garter stitch to balance it alittle more, but I do love the lace and the pattern is so easy.

I will deffinately make this again, next time maybe a heavier yarn next time. I don't know what shawl they will pick next, they are all so pretty it almost doesn't matter :))

So now I need to get busy and finish my hubby's vest out of a very large Llama!

Here is Mr. Llama, he was a big boy and very pretty.

Here is a close up of the cable and a picture of the back. I need to ply some more and I will get the fronts done.

It's been a long time since I have done anything on large needles, I forgot how fast it is!!

Here are the tools I like best. I have had a couple of people ask what type of combs these are. They are Indigo Hound 5 pitch combs. Can't say enough good about them.

I use them for everything.

I even blend on them, my bestest friends!

I still haven't gotten far on my socks, I am to the point where I am going to start the heel and have put it off till I have time to really consintrate.

I have some beautiful fleece I got from the White Barn Farm. It is a light

grey and I think I am going to get it ready to make a

cardigan for hubby. It is absolutly wonderful, can't say enough about their wool, so clean and soft!!

I think I will mix it with some black Alpaca and some great Shetland I have

Doesn't it look yummy? Now to pick a pattern!

I have also started another shawl, out of Cashmere. It is a Sivia Harding pattern http://siviaharding.com/Waves.html Waves in the Square.

She has some beautiful patterns and you can downlod alot of the right away. I just love that, I guess I am bit impatient.

Here's a picture at the bottom of our drive as you come up to the house. A little cloudy today, but still nice. No birds today :((
