Winter is having a hard time letting go – a big storm has whipped through the Bay Area, leaving a BUNCH of palm tree branches on my roof thanks to the heavy winds. We even had a tornado warning Friday morning. So it's been pretty rainy and not sunshiney. Happy Spring, yeah?
I finished the Bellingrath shawl and blocked it last night. When it's actually sunny, I will try to get better pictures, but here is an idea of what it looks like on the blocking wires:
Pretty nice! I'm curious as to how it will "fit" since the sides of the shawl don't come to a point, they have that edge – so it's not a triangle, it's more of a, well, Superman logo shape.
Anyway, so that's done for the most part.
Next up is the Eiki Shawl, pattern by Janel Laidman.
From now until the end of April, all pattern proceeds go to fund Japan disaster relief. How could I NOT buy the pattern?! It really amazes me the way the online crafting community comes together to help people in need.
I'm knitting the shawl out of Bugga! I got at Stitches last month in the Lubber Grasshopper colorway, which is a dark red with flecks of purple, super pretty and SO soft, I don't even.
The rain's at it again, just bracing myself for the tell-tale thump of a palm tree branch hitting my roof. Again.
