Luna Wrap

 Jonathan had a trunk show at the Blue Ewe in early March from Mirasol.  I bought yarn for my next project to knit at the Blue Ewe.  I would never have bought this project if I hadn't seen the shawl in person.  That just shows you how affective a trunk show is.  The pattern was thrown in with the purchase of the yarn.  I have stored the pattern in the chest beside my bedroom door in the knitting drawer.  

The yarn is 

It is a DK weight yarn spun in Peru.  This beautiful tweed yarn is a blend of Superfine Alpaca, Linen and Bamboo Tweed.  I will probably knit the project on a size 5 needle as I would like it to drape well.

Cherie Chevron Shawl

 Finally finished Loop.  Very surprised how quickly I was able to weave in the ends.  So this past week I started my new Blue Ewe project: Cherie Chevron Shawl

I would never have chosen this shawl if I had not looked through the projects to find these particular colors and the owner wearing it exactly this way. I found the photos from the original project to not be nearly so appealing.  I am using yarn from the Blue Ewe:

The Variegated is from Tulip Tree Yarn in Lexington in color evening rainbow and the Red background color is Symphonie Terra in Red Rose.  I am using size 6 needles

I am really enjoying knitting this shawl.  I am using my old method from when I used to do a lot of texture knitting of putting the pattern on notecards with a rubber band.  I used a new method of making the notecards.  Since my pattern was digital, I copied and pasted each row on mailing labels with row number on each.  Then I used the mailing labels on my notecard....it has turned out great.  And I love the fact that when I finish each row I know the stitch count on that row has turned out perfectly.  Which means that I never have to pull out more than one row because of mistakes.  

Snow Day

 I had three doctor's appointments in place for today

All three have called to cancel because of the 

HUGE winter storm that has hit our area .

So I guess this will be a knitting day for me.

Hope to finish my Loop shawl!  And perhaps

start a new Blue Ewe project.
