Waves Upon the Shore Shawl Complete


Last week I finished knitting my Waves Upon the Shore Shawl.  If only fall or winter were here so I could wear it comfortably.  It is a treasure!  


The pattern is kuura.  It was easy and quickly memorized, who could ask for anything more?  I loved that it was a charted pattern and with a quick glance I could knit away.  I highly recommend the pattern.


The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere and as you can guess it was heaven to knit with for this project.  It had lots of energy, spring and yet was so so soft.  I have romantic thoughts of wrapping the shawl around my neck on a cold cold day and being snuggle-y warm.

    Stunning! I like how the name of the shawl and pattern are intertwined with each other.

    SO beautiful, Karen! I love your knits. And your new header. And the recent pesto recipe you shared :) thank you!

    I have missed visiting your beautiful and comforting space - I am a bit behind on my favourite blogs and bloggers (I blame the freelance work). Have a lovely week and 'speak'/'see' you very soon :)

    IF you set your AC at the right temperature you could wear now. Just sayin'

    LOVE it ~ that color really speaks to me :) I think I'm repeating myself. But it really does. This fall (or maybe winter) I will make shawls. :)

    Ohh! Love the revamp! Pretty! So is your shawl. I find that's the worst part of knitting during warm weather...waiting for the cold weather to wear it.

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
