Traveling Woman Shawl



And so it is finished.....Yay!  I have a feeling this will be one of the last projects finished during the summer. I highly recommend the pattern Traveling Woman, it is straight forward and a pleasure to knit up.  I did knit this pattern once before which I blogged about here .  I do prefer the solid color over the multi-colored.  Now if only there was some cold weather----ahem----then I could wear it!!!  

I think some of you have wondered how I wear these shawls and as pictured above I wear them as a scarf. I like this pattern because the triangle shape is very subtle.  I really like rectangles the best but sometimes I like to live on the edge :D

    Karen, it looks just beautiful and I love the color. I am going to have to knit one too! I wish we both had some cooler weather. Have a great weekend and a wonderful 4th.

    Gorgeous! I printed off this pattern and I think it's the first "for me" knit that I will make. Sometime this summer (I hope!).

    Been looking for a shawl to make for my mom for xmas. I think I'll be ready to take this one on after I finish a slightly easier one I'm working on now.
    Thanks! Beautiful!!!!!!! Great color choice. I might have to steal that idea too.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
