Well, my very good friend is having a milestone birthday next month and in January I searched for a very special yarn to knit something special for her. I searched the web and found exactly what I wanted and new the pattern I was going to make another Clapotis. But I didn't like the way it was working out. So last night at knitting, Rebecca was making a shawl and I thought the pattern would be perfect for the gift. So I decided to give it a try last night and I'm glad I did. I am much happier with this pattern. So after her birthday, I will post the finished gift.
I really was doing well working on one project at a time but that seems to have gone out the window now. Robin showed off her Birch shawl (found in Rowan 34) last night and I fell in love with that too. It is made with Rowan Kid Silk.
If you go to Ravelry, you can see how lovely it is. Maggie has already started the Aestllight. I know I would love to do it in Manos silk and have it ready to wear at Stitches. This is the combination I plan on using. (See previous post for picture of shawl.)
I am still moving along with my Box Square Shawl, using the Classic Elite Premier in black. I'm still think this is too heavy for this shawl. I am hoping I can spend a good amount of time this weekend knitting and making some headway with all my projects.
