I haven't posted in a long time because I have been busy with work and haven't been knitting much. Also some jerks try to post automatic comments to my blog. They haven't been successful because I turned on comment moderation, but the attempted intrusion of posting garbage "get rich quick scheme"s and escort services and porno links has taken the fun out of blogging for me for now.
Here is my latest finished creation. Swallowtail by Evelyn Clark using Sea Silk by Hand Maiden Fine yarn in Nova Scotia color. Hand dyed in Canada. Supposed to be a combination of silk and seaweed. I wanted a shawl that reminded me of a walk on Northwest beaches and this is it! I increased the number of repeats from 14 to 24 and then did repeats rows of the Lily of the Valley edging rather than 2. I ended up with about 2 yards of yarn left over so pretty good guess on when to stop my shawl expansion!
Pictures aren't the best but what I have for now... Shawl is much larger than what is shown and the colors are deep blues, greens, yellow-green and teal....
