Rosebud Scarf

I started this scarf, hmmm not sure exactly what day but I started it in October and I've been working on it here and there. The pattern is super easy to remember. It's the Rosebud scarf pattern and the yarn is Briar Rose 4th of July.

Almost finished Icarus...oh, and the winner

The goal was to be able to post a finished Icarus with the winner's name...All of the stitches have been knit, but the blocking (which is the most important part) will have to wait until I get back home next week. This means there are more photos coming. My mom was helpful in posing with the shawl. **see the string hanging from the right side? I haven't woven the ends in yet, either.

Now, down to business...Thank you to Buttercup and Brown Berry for posting your new projects - they are beautiful! Both names went into the 'hopper' and my dad chose one piece of paper (after making me explain why we were giving away yarn, what it was for, whose yarn was it, and if my name was one of the ones who could win) -- it was very proper, I assure you.

Buttercup, come on down! Congratulations on your yarn win!!

The shawl is only a mystery to me

Sorry, Debbi - I didn't mean to tease you - The shawl is Icarus from 2006 Summer Interweave Knits.

It may look a little different in this photo...due to some 'Kim' difficulties, I took it out and started over. The pattern is easy enough to follow - it was just me not following very basic knit rules.

It's moving right along and I hope to share the completed project very soon.

Mystery ? shawl

I set some knitting goals to reach before casting on this incredible yarn...Forth of July (I believe?)

It is cloudy today, but the colors are pretty true. I can't wait to get this blocked - I've a way to go before accomplishing blocking.

Do you know what pattern I'm knitting?

...One more hint:
