Verily Vintage

I finished my Bitterroot shawl, although it did take me nearly two weeks to get round to blocking it, am a bit lazy when it comes to blocking.




It took up nearly the whole of my bed to block, I really must get some of those foam squares so I can block on the floor, would love some blocking wires too, but definitely cannot afford at the mo.


I've already started on my second shawl, which is the India Stole by Sylvie Beez, I'm nearly halfway and it looks like it's going to be super long, ah well more soggy bed blocking.

As previously mentioned I've joined the 10 shawls in 2010 KAL, I'm well into my first shawl which is Bitterroot and am already thinking about my other 9. I think I may do the Heartland Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark and also the aolian shawl from Knitty and possibly also a vernal equinox from the Lankakomero blog which I love.

I was lucky this christmas, my lovely partner bought me some fyberspates lace, in lilacs and blossom (you can see in pic with my new set of knitpro interchangeables) so I have some great yarn to use for my shawls. I've also set myself the challenge of designing a shawl of my own, I've got lots of sketches already, so here's hoping that it works out!
