I'm Done!

[niennaelf]

I'm done with my shawl(hops around delightedly!) I managed to use up 5 balls of yarn that I didn't quite know what to do with, but at the end I had to buy one more so it wouldn't be too disjointed. My mom said that if I added too many more colors, I was going to make her go crazy, that and it would start to look funny.

oh its beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if you say it doesn't look hard, i think it does! i really like the lace. how long did it take you. i just finished a "neck scrunchie". its kind of like a neck warmer, but longer and more versatile(i think). ok, school calls! thanks for posting the pics.

It looks harder than it is, really! It took me about 2-3 weeks of working on it in my spare time(or "making" spare time =)) Your neck scrunchie sounds neat(any pics?).

after seeing your post pics of your knitting stuff, it has inspired me! next chance, i get, i think i'll post some pics of my scarf and neck scrunchie. keep an eye on my lj.

It came from a book called Folk Shawls, 25 knitting patterns and tales from around the World by Cherly Oberle. It's a pretty neat book, with lots of different patterns, this was my first attempt, some look pretty hard. If you want I can send you the pattern. There is a really neat knitting umm...catalog? It has all sorts of yarn, books, ideas, and that sort of thing. The prices aren't too bad either, it is knitpicks.com. If you go to the sight you can look through things, you can also request a catalog. Beware - if you don't want more things to do, don't look! I've found way too many(plus they have free patterns =) ). I will def. look for pics!
