Yesterday after finishing the dyed shetland I started on the moorit shetland that I have to process for a cardigan for the dear husband. I managed to get half a bobbin but no photo yesterday. Today on day 6 of the Tour de Fleece I have managed to get a bobbin and half done.
This amount and yesterdays half bobbin is less than 100gms. I have a kilo of fleece to spin. So if we say 3 bobbins for 100 grams that means I have 30 bobbins to fill and ply...... 30 bobbins ok who has lost her marbles. I think that we agree that would be Moi.
Today was the first day of Ry's summer holidays so of course she slept in. I finally turfed her out between the thunder storms to get photos with a shawl. We talking the English Summer here it will be wet guaranteed.
I made the Garden of Alla shawl back in January but only got around to blocking it last night. This shawl was designed by Suzy Crancer but I used another ravelry user's edging to what is in the pattern directions. My Masha'allah was using up some Schoppell-Wole Zaberball Starke 6 that I had left over from making some socks. This shawl is one, yes one skein. While the pink to green is not really my thing as I think there is too much pink in this shawl I have another graduation present in the cupboard.
This is a big shawl we are talking over 80cm from centre back neck to bottom point. Daughter is 6'3" and she had plenty to spare when she was doing the eagle spread of the shawl as from tip to tip we are over 2 metres in length.
Very pretty shawl, just looking for a pattern to cast on here.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the "hill climb"!
Roll into my queue on Ravelry I have something like 500 queued. You know what they say about to do lists longer the earthly capacity. I have to knit three shawls before the end of next week and I still have not cast on . I think I will be doing some really simple and quick.
