just for you, dear reader of my little slice o' blogland, a WIP pic of the Garden Shawl:
yeah, and i appologize for taking a picture of lace on my insanly stripey sheets, but you get the idea. and by the by, this thing is going to be huge. this is just the pattern through round 55 (i think) and it's already about 16" across. i think that it won't be so much a shawl on me as a really pretty blanket.
have you seen the new yarns at knitpicks? they've added 9 that are shown. they have also, however, added to their Dye-your-own line (now called "Bare"). this could be dangerous!
speaking of ease, a new Perdita for your viewing pleasure. i used silver beads this time, and i sure do like how they look. OH! and the .50 three packs of the Pearl Cotton are not, i repeat, ARE NOT a myth! if you have a Michael's near you, go and check it out. not all the 3 pks are that cheap, some are $1 and a couple are $2. but, wow! i'm going to have yarn for 2227 of these babies!
