My the progress we've made!

Well well well, instead of reviewing for the two quizzes I have this week, I've been knitting. Surprise, surprise. As you can see, I've made some serious progress on the Hanami (or is it Hamani...Hanami, just verified it.) I have finally finished the 7th run through on the basket weave chart and am about halfway through Chart A which means I've also finished the Transition Chart. Here are my pics:



You can't see all of the shawl now because of my obsessive knitting o'er the weekend, but that's ok because it spares you from that hideous purl row I've ranted about before.


So now that I've convinced myself that I will be able to finish this shawl, I have embarked on another project! I had a hankering to make some type of throw or blanket so I'm using the stitc
h pattern below from the Vogue Stitionary vol. 1 to make it. I'm using this yarn...tried and true Caron Super Soft in Deep Plum. Hey, it's cheap and it's soft and my sweater that I made from it is comfy and not scratchy. And when you need like 8 skeins of the stuff, frugality tends to win out.
