Cinnamon Grace Shawl Complete


I finished my shawl on the way up to London, Ontario.  It was fun blitzing through the ruffle while riding in the car.  I felt so accomplished.  The yarn is by Twist and Twine and it was wonderful to knit.  I enjoyed the tiny bit of sparkle that was incorporated in the spinning.  Just enough to hint at some glitz.


The pattern is a must knit.  It was easy and I loved how it used just one skein of fingering weight yarn.  You also can repeat the ruffle until you are nearly done with the skein.  I did not do the picot edge bind off.  I felt that the ruffle pattern was enough for me.


Now.......when will I be able to wear this?  You guessed it.  In the fall.  My favorite time of the year and it cannot come soon enough.

    Gorgeous! I've added this pattern to my favorites. Because, you know, what I really need is another pattern for my "want to make someday when I have time" list… xo

    I immediately thought of fall when I saw the first photo. I can picture you now... sitting under a large Red Maple tree, sipping hot Apple Cider next to a fire crackling, and wearing this beautiful shawl. Gorgeous! Love that little sparkle, too.

    Ontario sounds awesome...I have never been to Canada...it is quite far from where I live. Will you share photos? Your shawl is.....I have run out of words to describe your work and feel as if I always repeat myself now! Incredible, wonderful, amazing.....I must start going to the thesaurus! I cant't find time time to knit these days...how you blog, read and knit ~ I don't know....but I did fianlly pick up a new book and am reading The Glass Castle (suggested by my ninty five year old grandmother!) Maybe I will pick up those needles again...if I can find time in between walking and feeding our baby deer!

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

Knitting News

  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).
