Wendy has her Swirl Shawl by Lijuan Jing on US 6 / 4mm in Jojoland Melody super wash, this has been sitting in her pile for 3 years. (I thought I was bad, but she beats me.) This is a long term project. She also did her swatch for Gawain by Alison Green using Dream in Color Classy in the Dusky Aurora. She cast on for her mom, To Eyre by Carol Sunday in Arauncania Nature Wool in a nice red on US 7 / 4.5 mm needles. There are several versions of the shawl in the pattern and she is doing version 2.
Rate Your Date:
Sheila had a banner week for finished objects. She finished the Iris Mystery shawl by Natascha Vogele in Wollpapst Sockenwolle on US 6 / 4.0 mm needles. Loved the pattern, would do it again, great for breaking up variegated yarns. She also finished her Owl hat based on the Owlings pattern by Kerrie James on US 7 / 4.5 in Cascade 220 Super wash in the Mystic Purple colorway. Loved this pattern and the yarn is squishy. Last but certainly not least is her Saroyan is off the needles. The Saroyan is by Liz Abinante on US 6 / 4.0 mm in Malabrigo Lace, held double. Wonderful pattern, got tired of it and glad that it is done.
Wendy finished her Rock Island Shawl by Jared Flood in Ivy Brambles Romantica from The Yarn and Fiber Company on US 7 / 4.5 mm needles. Glad it was done the edge was long and tedious. She did love the Rock Island Lace section.
