I finally got around to dying a shoulder shawl I finished in October. It even sat pinned up for three weeks after I blocked it. My mind just isn't into knitting with my husband in the hospital or even when he's home and needs a lot of help.
I've worn the Percy shawl a couple of times and had lots of compliments. It's just full of mistakes and I want to knit the pattern again when my mind can settle down.
Dreadful photo, but it is pretty, the copper lined glass beads show up well and the Malabrigo is nice and soft even after the dye job.
I frogged the Fisherman yarn lace project. Lots of work, but I knit to keep my sanity and I will reuse the yarn. No big deal.
Last year I bought some lace yarn at a local thrift shop. No labels, but some wonderful stuff. It's variegated lavender and pale green and two strands were wound together so that's how I'm using it to make a Nightsong shawl. It's a nice leaf pattern and I'm working on the seventh repeat. The markers are there to remind me that I'm knitting and to pay attention! It's really very pretty when spread out and can't wait to see it finished and blocked. I promise not to dye this one.
