A Model Morning Glory

Just a few photos of the Morning Glory finished last week. I love this pattern even more than before!

Short Row Hat

Veronik Avery's Short Row Hat has been on my list and the leftover Wistful from Bugg's Shrug seemed the perfect weight.

The construction is interesting and this is a pretty quick knit with minimal ends to weave in or finishing details.

The pattern is free on Interweave, you can find it here along with a great photo.

Happy Holidays! Only 5 more shopping days.....

Finished and Almost Finished

Finished: The Rosebud Shawl (ends woven in and blocked)





Almost Finished: Hattie's Rose Garden - it just needs to be blocked and the ends woven in.





All I have left in my stash from Briar Rose is a skein of Grandma's Blessing. I'm going to wait to use that -- give some other yarns a chance for a little while.

Lacy Cable Shrug - Fini!

Bugg's Shrug is finally finished! The pattern is the Lacy Cable Shrug from Briar Rose Fibers. The pattern originally used Earth Song, but Bugg liked the color and texture of Wistful.

We originally purchased 2 hanks at about 8 ounces each and there is about 6 ounces left. The yarn blocked wonderfully!

The matter of those 'good enough for now' buttons is resolved! Chris sent some 'these are THE button' buttons. They are a wonderful addition to my Retro Cardigan.

This sweater is a perfect weight and will get a lot of use in the coming months.

Now....Next project!

Wistful shrug

While waiting for the rest of Icarus' yarn, I started the Lacy Cable Shrug out of Wistful.

This pattern was originally made with Earth Song on size 10 needles. My Bugg picked up these hanks of Wistful at the Fiber Festival in Greencastle, IN back in April. I am using size 5 needles and am pleased with the results.

The photo is of the gauge swatch, but one cuff is finished and I'm progressing up the sleeve.

Mom's computer set-up is not ideal for photo transfers - more photos coming soon!

Have a safe, happy Fourth of July!
