Pincha Shawl Complete


I'm thrilled to share with you my little shawlette.  My oh my, an unassuming garter stitch short row pattern that has you counting every stitch on every row :)  This is not TV knitting or talking knitting.
After a few "feathers" I was able to listen to audio podcasts and I felt quite accomplished.


I love how the pattern showcases a variegated yarn.  You know the ones that you buy then think, what can I make?  Yep, those skeins have a pattern now, this is it.

A tip:  I used stitch markers to place after doing each short row section which helped me immensely.


I loved working with Camilla's yarn, such a treat!!

    It's beautiful. You are so right about the yarn, I do that all the time with variegated yarn too. This pattern is just perfect for the yarn. Absolutely stunning.

    I think this is one of the prettiest knits I have ever seen. I wonder, could it be made larger?

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!

  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).
