Big doin's over here! The Hanami shawl is complete....and I can't tell you how ecstatic that makes me. Overall, it didn't take as much time as I thought...or I worked on it like a fiend so it didn't make quite as long as I thought it would. Here it is, unblocked (I folded the basketweave section over on itself since it just repeats):
Here's a close up the ruffley edge
In other knitting news, I have started knitting My So Called Scarf:
In other news, S and I have just returned from the Wool Arts Tour! It was great fun....although I think S would have like to have been able to pet some bunnies. We only saw one patchy haired bunny in a cage and for sale, poor guy. We saw this guy at one of the farms:
Do you love him as much as I do??? My God, he's cute. Although, he and his pen mate had a not so cute grunting thing they kept doing that reminded me of Billy Bob Thornton in Sledgehammer....that's what that movies called right? Something doesn't sound right about that...anyway, while S opted for pounds upon pounds of sock yarn on a spool, I opted for some chunky yarns to make a quick scarf with.
Then, if my yarn filled weekend wasn't enough, I bought more yarn today to make E and earflap hat with some self striping sport weight yarn...I should have enough for matching mittens.
Good post.
