Well, I finally got my Olive Twist Shawl blocked and when I wore it to school I got many compliments (which I agreed with--It is really pretty!)
I like wearing it more so that the pointy part is forward. It looks great that way paired with a dressy denim jacket. Thanks Ms. Micawber for this excellent pattern!
I also finished knitting and blocking this Shawl Collared Cowl, my first "real" knitting project in that it included increases, decreases, button holes, and short rows. What a lot to learn! And it turned out pretty good. Crochet experience certainly helped.
And then finally, I made this hat. I loved the color work. Thanks to Little Woolie for her tutorials on tapestry crochet, or I would've had a much harder time with this. I liked making this so much, I am going to make another one with different colors.
I guess I've been pretty busy with the yarn this fall! I don't know what has gotten in to me. True, I have not baked much or even cooked dinner all that much, or done at home grading. I haven't read too much either. I have been rather addicted. Ah well, it's a cycle I guess.
Now though, to prepare for the last week of school before holidays. Always like keeping ponies in a stable!
I love everything you have made. I have been wearing my gray Olive Twist Shawl just the way you do and I love it. It keeps my neck a bit warmer even when I just wear it with a white t-shirt and jeans. Sue is brilliant isn't she?

'Ponies in a stable' or as I always think 'kittens in a basket' - the same seems to apply to students and staff! Well done on your woolly wonders x Jane
ReplyDeleteSigh, I do wish I could knit! And I can only crochet very simple things. I love looking at Sue's blog (Mr. Micaber's Recipe for Happiness) also. I love all the things that you have made here, they look really good on you and look professionally made!
