Beginnings and Ends

Just have some updates to share with you.  I don't know about everyone else but I've been down in the dumps for several days now and all I want to do is sleep.  Went Thursday and had some blood taken for my thyroid test so maybe that will show something.  

I finished the shawl I was working on and here it is...




It's crocheted using Scheepjes Whirl which is a cotton/acrylic yarn of fingering weight that is a gradient yarn..  I loved making it but they really aren't my colors so I'm putting it in my Etsy store if you're interested.

I'm making slow progress on the angel of the Nativity....


I'm having trouble getting into the stitching mood....hence I have started another shawl.



The yarn is a Euro Fingering weight and the color is called "Pioneer Woman" and I'm loving it.  I wanted to make an old fashioned shawl and what could be older than the granny square.  I'm planning on adding some other stitches in the shawl but I'll make that up as I go along.  I have over 800 yards of this yarn so it should make a fairly good size shawl.

Hope everyone else is feeling up to par and getting much stitching done.

Blessings, Barbara

After holiday doldrums. Worse here in dark and cold weather. Hope all is well with your tests.

When I was tired all the time a few years ago ,it did turn out to be my thyroid. I hope you have a simple answer like that. I take medication and have felt very well for many years since.

I hope they can give you an answer to your tiredness.
The shawls are very pretty!

Barbara: I love the shawl, the colors are beautiful, the new shawl is a sweet color, it reminds me of ice cream.
I have had the tiredness myself, I went to the doctor, he said it was due to the winter and not enough sun but I live in Minnesota, I do wish it was my thyroid that way I would have a solid answer, good luck I hope they find out what is going on with you.

Your finished shawl is gorgeous, Barbara. You are off to a good start on the next one plus good progress on the Nativity stitch! Thinking of you!

Beautiful shawls. I still haven't found the "right" patterns for all the Whirls in my stash, lol. I really like the yarn you are using for the new shawl you're working on. Granny square plus the "Pioneer Woman" colorway equals perfectly new, old fashioned shawl.
