Spin A Yarn for Ewe

Last week was a busy one as I decided to knit up some dishcloths for my Mom for Mother's Day. She had said she really liked the ones she had gotten as a gift from a knitting friend so I tucked that info away until I needed it. So in between making those and working on the lace I actually got the lace done. I got all the cloths done too but I forgot to photo them but you know the ones worked on the diagonal.

Here is the lace.



This one is of it blocking where it is easier to see the whole thing or at least most of it.



I also took some outside photos but I didn't get any smiley ones so you get these.



I really love how it came out as the yarn seemed to stripe perfectly for the pattern.

The yarn as usual is great to work with and working it on size 7 needles sure was a fun change. My next lace is going to be on size 4's so it will be a little more slow going.

I had to show you how it is looking.



I really like it!

I decided last week that I needed a fast and easy project so I decided on Thursday to knit something for the baby shower I was going to on Saturday. I had bought a cute Chicago Bears out fit already as that is Dad's favorite team but I really want to make something. I needed a pattern that would work for a July baby and a wool hat or socks just didn't seem to fit. I made this instead.


A Bunny Blanket Buddy. (I would of linked you directly to the pattern but it is from Lion Brand and you all know how weird that site is.) I used less then one skein of Sugar and Cream in what I thought was a very "bunny" color. It took one night and a little bit the next day to finish. I have to say the pattern is totally ingenious as it is knit all in one piece and the mom-to-be thought it was great. Plus it satisfied my need to complete something.

I am still working on both shawls but the one of my own design is getting a little more time then the other. Here is is quickly pinned out.


I really love the color of the yarn and this is close but not exactly right. I was just too lazy to find better light for it. I hope to have this beginning section done tonight and then on to the de-construction of it. I have a plan how I want to do it so coming back to this will not be too hard. Stay tuned...
