Ravelry (KYS) Secret Swap Package!

Here is my wonderful package from kamcole I nearly died when I opened it!

Look at all those nicely wrapped packages!

The first thing I opened was this: chocolate tea and Earl Gray (my hubby's favorite!) and yummy chocolate!

Next I opened a package and found a Lantern Moon Sheep Tape Measure! I had been wanting one of these forever! And there were gorgeous stitch markers, two pairs of knitpicks needles with interchangeable tips, and a package of knitpicks cables!

Next I opened a notepad, magnets and a pen! How fun!

Then I opened what felt like yarn! And boy was I right! I was so excited to get TWO SKEINS OF SILKY MAL!!! And they are a gorgeous purple!

And then I opened the last thing: The most awesome owl bag!

Thank you so much partner! You did an awesome job stalking me! And spoiling me! It was such a wonderful package that I nearly cried!

Shawl Addiction....

I have been plugging away at the Narnia Shawl. Here it is, through row 69. I am getting ready to start the next repeat! I am really loving this yarn!

And here is a close up of the spine. This is a better representation of the color.

Shawl Progress

Here are the beads I just ordered for my shawl. They are from Earth Faire and are Silver Lined Crystal AB. What is AB? According to Wikipedia, " In beading, AB means Aurora Borealis. AB is a rainbow-like coating on beads. When the light catches an ab bead at a certain angle, the bead will shine/glow with various colors."



I had a rough start with this shawl. I had to frog the entire thing and start with smaller needles. Let's just say that I have learned A LOT on this project. Such as, I have had to make sure that I count my stitches on every row, every time to make sure that I can move on to the next row! It sure beats having to rip out several rows to find the mistake!

Here is a current pic of my progress (with the smaller needles) as of 1/10/12. I have finished the second page of the pattern! Wohoo!

Narnia Shawl!

This is my FIRST shawl! It is also my first true foray into lace knitting!!

First page of the pattern done! I muddled through it and had a couple of times I needed to re-do a row, but here it is!!!

Here is the lovely Silky Mal I have been using!

What Size Yarn, What size Beads Chart

This is NOT my chart! But I have found this extremely helpful as I have decided I will be adding beads to my current shawl project!

Christmas Stockings finallly finished!!

It's time for a Knit-A-Long!

I am so excited to be joining in the Narnia Shawl Knit-A-Long on Ravelry. (We will all be doing the same pattern, and will have four months to complete it.) Now I am trying to decide what yarn to use!
