Antarktis Shawl Complete


As I showed you on Friday's post of the mere six inches left of this pretty skein, I completed my shawl and only sacrificed ONE row of the pattern.  I could easily knit his pattern again and again.  If you haven't knit Antarktis, well maybe you should!


I enjoyed the design of starting a shawl at one end and then creating the triangle tip to tip.  Also, this shawl can use one skein of fingering weight yarn of 430 ish yards.  I had 399 yards so of course I was thinking of how to finish the shawl with what I had.


Details are here on my ravelry page

    Beautiful!
    It seems like an easy and mindless shawl to knit, so I'll need to check out the pattern.

    Both the pattern and the colour are gorgeous! Im going to check out the pattern on Ravelry. I like that it uses just one skein of sock yarn.

    absolutely beautiful.....I joined a yarn of the month club while on the Cape and the first installment was a lovely skein of fingering wt with this pattern. I knit it once years ago....I think it might be time to knit it again!!!

    I love the simplicity of this design! It would work great with such a multitude of different dyes. Definitely on my to-knit list. -Sierra

    Such a beautiful shawl. I can see why so many people have knit it! And I think the color will work nicely for all seasons.

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

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
