First up is an updated picture of the Icarus Shawl I am knitting for a friend. Pretty good progress for a few days work. I won't tell ya'll the time I spent on it. I still remember when I revealed the number of stitches total in my one sweater that was knitted on size 2 needles. Yikes! So I will just tell ya as of right now, Icarus stands at the point where I have one more repeat of Rows 19-42 on Chart 1. Not bad at all. BTW, I LOVE this yarn!
Since I was meeting up for a knitting lunch today, I decided that my sock was not at an appropriate place to be worked on while talking with others. I decided to wind up some yarn I bought at Rhinebeck last year and start a shawl that my sis made out of the same yarn I gifted her. The shawl is Charlotte's Easy Lace Shawl by FiberTrends. The yarn I am using is Persimmon Tree Farm "Pot Luck" yarn. The yarn coloring is slightly different from the one I bought my sis, but it still contains all the pretty fall leaf colors I fell in love with while there.
Finally, here is a better in-progress photo of my latest sock. As a reminder it is the Froot Loop sock from Knitty. I have two more repeats to complete for the leg and then I will be on the heel.
Lastly, my momma is having double knee replacement surgery tomorrow afternoon! I know she reads my blog so I wish her lots of love. You'll be in my thoughts!!!! Momma's goal is to get her new legs going so well, that she'll join MB and I at Rhinebeck in 2010. You go mom!
Lots of fun knitting to see there! Good luck to your mom tomorrow. My mother-in-law had the same thing done in March 2007 (we joke that she now has bionic knees), and it has made SUCH a difference in her life--all positive!
ReplyDeleteLots of delicious looking knits here. Fruit Loops look super fruity. Mom will be the Bionic Woman after tomorrow...all in the power prayer, positive thinking, & hard work of course.

ReplyDeleteGood luck Momma! Keeping my fingers crossed for Rhinebeck 2010 to meet her. Miss Deborah, I might have to flog you for not taking pictures of your lunch with Kim and Risa. Icarus is looking great.
ReplyDeleteSending wishes for a speedy recovery for your Mom. Rhinebeck 2010 here she comes. I would love to meet the woman who spawned 2 of my very favorite knitters. Lunch was fun. I sure miss having you in my work hood.
