I usually love Wednesday's because I get to spend them with Peyton and Little John but today was different. They have moved into a different house and today the cable company was coming to hook it up so they couldn't come over. I had a ton of errands to run so that held me back from going over there.
I did get two shawls blocked though and I thought I'd share them with you.
I did get two shawls blocked though and I thought I'd share them with you.
First one is a gradient wool yarn that I purchased on Etsy. I think I showed you a few posts ago what it looked like in cake form. Well here's the finished product.
This was a very easy yarn to work with and I know I'll be back for more.
The second one is also a gradient but in several pastel colors. I absolutely love this yarn.
Neither one of these turned out very big but they will make nice shawlettes for in the fall. Also, they can end up as gifts. My sister-in-law Pat was down here about a month ago and she and her friend went home with a pile of shawls and cowls. I absolutely love making them but really don't get much use out of them. If you're thinking you would like one for yourself or for a friend, drop me an email at grammy5822@gmail.com and we'll see about making you one. I have an excellent selection of very high quality yarns and I know we can find a color you'd like. It will also keep me off the street and out of trouble....so my hubby says.
Blessings, Barbara

Your fingers are so busy Barbara,I absolutely love the colour of the second one just so delicate, I am sure you will be catching up with the family soon and hope you are feeling a little brighter.
Take care of yourself.

These are both so different, but both just lovely Barbara. My, you do fantastic work. Have a restful night my friend.
I was wondering what you did with all of the shawls you make :-) These are gorgeous!

I love the stitch you have used for the shawls - they look beautiful! x
The shawls are so pretty. I've not made any triangle shawls -- yet, but one of these days I'll will. I've seen so many people using the new multi-colored yarn cakes. Have you seen or tried any?
