A Quick Picture Day


Happy Wednesday!

A quick picture post. I've finished my last shrug. A review will follow as I made a minor change to this garment.




Here I am knitting the neckband on my vest. Still have two rows to go and then BO. Notice the empty front plackets?



I plan on wearing these two garments...A LOT. Both are machine washable. You can't beat that.

Knitting Updates


It's turning out that September is my month to finish my WIPs. Kind of like seeing a big bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Somewhere in between I managed to cast on for another shrug. Yeppers. That's what I did. I couldn't help myself. This fantastic Muench Tessin yarn screamed to be made into something. I'm further along than what the picture shows. Actually, I have one row of ribbing to do and then bind off in pattern and it's done.

I finally finished my Malabrigo shrug. It fits, but it's not one of my favorites. I think it's the yarn and not necessarily the color.

Last week, I went to G-Street and caught their holiday sale (Labor Day) and found some pretty buttons for my denim vest. I had fun at this store as the ladies allowed me to go behind the counter pull the boxes myself. It was pure joy to touch the buttons!

Yesterday morning, I seamed the shoulders and did a huge boo-boo. I had reversed the front right and front left. When I held up the vest, my front plackets were on the outside edges. Yikes! I undid the seams and cleaned my eyeballs before starting again.

Today, I spent a few hours untangling some Fiesta Rayon Boucle yarn for a good friend of mine. She had wound the yarn into two balls and then I helped her for a few hours.

I continued to work on it today and finished the untangling for her. I wound the two balls into one huge ball and then proceeded to wind the yarn into a cake. This color is Painted Desert. It's beautiful!

Beautiful cake!



Progress is being made. I just need to remain focused. ;)
