Knitting ADD
I started Granny's Shawl yesterday. There really is nothing like the thrill of starting a new knitting project. It's almost as thrilling as finishing a project. Which is why I chose to start the shawl rather than finish the Isobel scarf. Grin.
But, I am feeling guilty...so after a few more rows of the shawl I think I will attend to finishing up Isobel. And if I do that, I can totally kill two birds with one stone, as I need to block that Super Secret Project of mine.
Stats for the shawl. The pattern is entitled: Feather and Fan Comfort Shawl and it's on Knitting-And.com, by Sarah Bradberry. I am of course using that new Marble Chunky I got for the purpose...and I am really loving this yarn. It's very soft and very pretty.
On another (and completely un-related) note, July is National Ice Cream month. I thought you needed to know. I am pestering my husband to buy me some chocolate ice cream.
Hello Everyone! I know that Birdy is a knitter and so are most of our followers, but some of you also crochet. While I was on Artfire today looking around at different items, I happened apon this great item. I wanted to share it with you all here. It also allows me to play with a neat feature on Byhand.me which allows you to create something they call spotlights. I created one with just this one item, so I could test it out.
If it doesn't work, then you can view it here: http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=136969 It's a PDF pattern for a crochet Banana Split Sundae! It is too cute! If Birdy could crochet, then I would ask her to make this up just to have as a cute toy for the kids. But since she can't I figured share it with the world. This artist (Melbangel2) also sells on Etsy and some other sites, but I just love the whole feel of ArtFire the company so I am trying to support them. Tell me what you think of the pattern, and if you stitch it up, send us a note with a picture, PLEASE!
