I finished a forever shawl yesterday. I had come across some Blue Sky Alpaca alpaca and silk blend on clearance last summer. It felt so nice to the touch! I decided to make a shawl out of the strange number of skeins I bought. And I like having a forever shawl of some style in progress. It is inspired by Ines Cruz who knits. She knitted something similar from alpaca gifterd to her. But knit gives a very different drape. Though I will not undo this one!
Well, this one is done. It is heavier then I would really like for the size it is but it is a comfort. It is a comforting weight. And so soft! The colors are natural and I like how they all come together.
I have also been playing with the camera on my phone. How do I take pictures of what I make when I do not ask for help. The hands in this house are very busy and sometimes I do not chose to wait. Someone will eventually take the picture but I have been having fun with the timer on my phone.
I do not currently have any more forever shawls in the works. That is mostly due to having three sweaters and a dress that are being crocheted. I also am working on a dress that is heavily embroidered. And mending. Never forget mending. Mondays seem to be about mending.
Plus working on the display room for the boyos. If I were to win the lottery, all I would "buy" myself would be a room with a lock on the door. Or maybe a cabin with a lock? A truck cabin with a lock? The capabilities of making a cup of tea and having some quiet for making.
