RSSAnd some more of the Misti Shrug. It’s a lovely transition-weather piece. And it’s softer than is reasonable.

Some better shots of the Instant Nostalgia Shawl. It really is warm. And it really does need to be blocked.

Andreas and I went to the park for a little photoshoot of some of my recently-finished projects.
This one is Doris Chan’s Farpoint Topper, done in a nylon ribbon yarn. I like the swirly motif — you can see it best in that third picture, where both my arms are down. But the neckline is a little too open to be functional (I can actually step into it and get it up around my hips no problem). Andreas likes it, though: “What IS it? It’s like a whole new kind of garment!”
Also: LOL, my hair in that last picture.

Slightly better shot of the lace, now that the sun is out.
Another completed project! Amazing what you can do once you’re no longer doing homework or writing papers.
This is my Misti Alpaca Shrug (made with a skein or two of Misti Alpaca, which is just stupidly cozy). It’s super easy, too; just a lace rectangle with ribbed edging seamed to make sleeves.
Would be incredible for a quick-knit gift.
I’m wearing it today. No one’s commented on it yet, though. Sadface.

Just wanted to tell you… Your entrelac shawl is simply amazing! Thank you for giving me the inspiration to give entrelac a try :) Cheers! ♥
Thank you so, so much! Definitely try; it may be confusing at first, but it’s more a technique than a pattern, and in no time it’s second nature. (Plus, I can almost guarantee you it will take you less time than it took me.)

Oooh!
Holy gorgeous!
If I ever make an afghan, this will be it.
More pictures because
- I’m vain
- I’m so incredibly glad to be done with this thing
- all of the above.
You guys! Guess what I finally finished?
Well, kind of. I still have to wash and block it. And I’m thinking about maybe adding fringe. What do you think?
