Over the weekend I finished my first lace project. I just had to pick up a small “instant gratification” project. The mystery shawl is just dragging on. So here’s my finished lace:

The pattern is Lace Leaf Hat by Laura Todd. The yarn is Knit Picks Palette in Lipstick. I knitted this up on size 5s. The . . . → Read More: Finally finished a project~ Read more »

Updates and Cast on

First, look what I did! Last Saturday morning I spent the whole morning with my ball winder and lace hanks. I got everything wound. Now all I have to do is walk over to my shelf and pick up a skein of lace to work with!

Goal for this week

Ok, so the realization that I am soooo not going to even come close to winning the most yardage knitted hit over the past weekend. I decided I’m okay with that. I’m knitting what I can, when I can. I’d rather take my time and enjoy my lace knitting instead of knocking myself out try to . . . → Read More: Goal for this week Read more »

Update on Plans

I’m making a little progress on the Mystery Shawl. I downloaded the final clue for the edging. That on is probably going to take a while since I have never done a knitted on lace edging. I’m thinking about frogging what little I have done on the yellow shawl I started. I’m not sure I want . . . → Read More: Update on Plans Read more »

Progress Update and another cast on!

I finally managed to get some pictures uploaded for my mystery shawl. I believe I had said before that I had finished the third clue. I did the first row of the forth clue last night. It’s kind of strange, I’m still on the first ball of lace. I figured I’d at least have started the . . . → Read More: Progress Update and another cast on! Read more »

Finished Chart 3!

I made my goal last night and finished chart 3 and moved my shawl over to the 40″ circular. I was up until about 11:00 last night finishing up. My right shoulder is aching today though, I think I may have over did it yesterday. But hey, I met my goal for the evening. Now to . . . → Read More: Finished Chart 3! Read more »

worn out!!

I got some knitting done over the holiday weekend. I didn’t get near as much done as I would have liked, but I made significant progress. We went to visit our families for the july 4th weekend.  I refused to take my knitting outside while fireworks were popping. Too many things could happen to my knitting, . . . → Read More: worn out!!

Quick update!

I didn’t get to do a whole lot of knitting yesterday evening. My husband and I both found out yesterday that we are both receiving raises that will show up in our pay checks at the end of this month. So we were out celebrating at Olive Garden.

I did manage to get a couple rounds on . . . → Read More: Quick update! Read more »

Weekend knitting

First things first. I amused myself over the weekend. Saturday morning I finished up clue 2 of my mystery shawl. I inserted another lifeline. This lifeline was much easier to insert with the circular needles. I was pretty proud of myself. I printed out clue 3 and proceeded to knit. I knew I was not going . . . → Read More: Weekend knitting Read more »
