That was quick!

Following Susan's link to Fluffy Knitter Deb's how-to on crocheting the beads onto the shawl, I went to Beadwrangler's shop to get my crochet hooks and a few more beads. I ordered on Monday and got them today! So I guess I would have to highly recommend the Beadwrangler - I love fast shipping :)

I started too

I decided to use the pale green with cream Artyarns silk mohair with my new addi turbos lace needles size 3.75mm. I love these needles, they're great with the mohair in my yarn. This is such a pretty lace pattern, very soft. I had to go out last night, so didn't get much done, but I hope to knit on it today. I put the chart on a magnetic board to make following it easier, and I also inserted a small coiless safety pin in the center stitch to help anchor me. Is anyone else using aides?

Casting on Today

Thanks Lauren for setting this up . I bought Susan's pattern as soon as she'd posted it . I've knit her Forest Canopy shawl . That was only my second completed lace project. It was gifted to my aunt , who just loved it . Unfortunately my brains had left the building and I sent it off without taking any photos . The yarn I'm using for this shawl will be Zephyr wool silk in a copper colour.This time I'm the recipient and there should be some photos .

I started last night

And I think I made it to about 100 stitches. I'm really liking the lace pattern so far, it is simple enough but keeps my attention - I really like that the repeat is only 6 rows :) The cone is added for scale. I'm using the size 5 needles, white Jaegerspun Zephyr, and I will for sure be doing the beads rather than the nupps. I just hope my beads and crochet hook get here soon enough!

I've started

Of course i didn't finish the socks, a true knitter begin with a new project, hi hi. I knitted and knitted, and had to frog 6 rounds, that's how it ends when one is to eager. Tomrrow I will post a photo.

Button and beads

Hey all, Susan sent me this picture of the shawl with more of the beading shown. I love it and I'm going to do beads on mine. Thanks Susan!

She also has a cute button ready for blog usage that I'm adding to the sidebar, feel free to save it to your computer and use it on your blog.

Hi there!!!

I bought the pattern yesterday, the yarn is also ready. But, I have to finish one pair of socks before, or do I have to do so....................
