Progress!

This is the lace shawl and it is not close to finishing. I have at least 20 more rows and they are getting longer and longer since this is a triangular shawl and it is knit from the smallest point to the widest point. It is pleasant to knit, though, so I'll finish this summer, I think. I hope I do, because I have to pack some easy knitting to take with me in a week. Our granddaughter is being born by c-section on Tuesday the 23rd. We will go to our daughter's on Monday and stay however long she needs us. Probably to come home for a week and then return when her husband has to return to work. We'll see. It is so exciting and scary and wonderful all at once! This will be a week early for the baby so we aren't having to wait as long as originally anticipated. We still can hardly wait! ;-)
These socks are nearly done and I am so excited! Then I can move on to the new yarns from The Loopy Ewe. I've enjoyed these, but now I'd like to try a toe-up version. I really like the two circulars, for sure! ;-)

No knitting pictures


I still don't have knitting pictures, but have been knitting quite a bit. I've almost finished Tom's scarf. Just have the ends to weave in and it's done, so I hope to finish before the end of the week and will try to take a picture to post. I've been working on my purple sock and am almost finished with the one. I'll start the second one, soon. I've also been knitting on my burgundy merino wool shawl. It's so plain, but it is so easy to knit. No thinking involved, so it is really theraputic when I need no thinking.

This picture is my brother's kitty, Squeeky. She's a scardie cat, but really pretty and when she gets to know you she's nice.

Trip to Williamsburg

Look what I bought at the Twisted Sisters Yarn Shop in Williamsburg two days ago. The red is actually a bit darker than this picture, but it is beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn! The turquoise and purple is a ribbon yarn from which I'm going to make a triangular shawl, mostly decorative.
The shop was full of wonderful things and they offerred a 15% discount to us conference attendees. I was attending the VLA(VA Library Association) annual conference and it was quite fun! Learned a lot and I helped the Scholarship Committee quite a bit, too.
