Holy smokes! It's been a long while since I've posted; that's not to say that I've not been knitting though...
I have started a few projects and as usual, have finished... let me see... oh right, NONE!! I wonder if I could hire someone to finish all my projects for me? You know, the assembling, weaving, blocking, etc... It's kindof a pain in the ass to spend all that time knitting and having nothing to show for it....
On to my current projects then!
This is the "almost" finished Icarus Shawl from The Best of Interweave Knits.
I'm using mercerized cotton as opposed to the suggested fingering weight alpaca; the result of which is a nice, medium weight shawl with god "fall" and flexibility. I have only the edging to complete before this piece becomes part of someone's Summer wardrobe. Probably not mine though; I love the colours but they don't suit me as well as I'd hoped.
This one is definately a keeper! And easy to finish too!
It's "Lacy Stole" and I'm using Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn in Color #95. Love it!

I've been working on the garden too...
