Recently Finished Project

written in September 2015:

Well, hello there!  Long time, no see ;)  I took an unintentional break from this blog, and now I'm ready to get into the swing of things again.  I wanted to share some recently finished projects with you.

And now, in present time....:)

I meant to come back full force with my knitting projects, abandoned this draft, and then forgot about it! Since I'd already finished it, I will want to share this FO.  I've knit a few things since this shawl, so keep a look out for those in the next few weeks!






Pattern: Romeo Shawl by Joji Locatelli
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Tapis, 400 yards
Needles: US 4

I knit this up for the Joji Fall KAL group on Ravelry.  I joined the KAL on a whim, and I am so glad I did!  It was the perfect way to get back into the swing of knitting.  That combined with the impending fall weather has me knitting up a storm right now.  This shawl is going to be so pretty when the weather cools down.  I will definitely be making another Romeo Shawl in the future.  It would be gorgeous in a lighter weight.  I blocked it lightly, but now I'm wondering if I should block it again more aggressively.  The picot edging is still curling a bit, and I'd really like it to stand out more.  Despite that, I love it!

Working on some WIPs

I have a couple of projects on my needles that I want to share.

 I'm working on a Honey Cowl for the Sunflower Yarns February-along.  The theme this month is the DK Durham yarn line.  I had some in my stash already in the colorway Last Leaves of Fall.  I love this colorway!  The cowl will go with a lot of different outfits.  Plus, I've been wanting a long cowl for a while.

This is a project I've had on the needles since the beginning of the year.  I got started on my sweater goal early!  The pattern is Gudrun Johnston's Moch Cardi and I'm knitting it in Red Heart Designer Sport in Pistachio.  I don't care for acrylic all that much, but I'm using this up so I can stash down.  It's been slow-going, but I'll be picking this up again full force after this month's Sunflower Yarns -along.

What are you working on right now?
