I frogged the turquoise shawl

I love the yarn.  I love the pattern.  I don't like them together.  So I frogged it.  Frog is a knitting term meaning "rippit, rippit, rippit".

Bye bye shawl.  Now to find something that I like better.  I will make the pattern but in lace yarn and smaller.  I tried it on and it was enormous on me.

Poor lonely neglected EPP

The dear little thing is languishing because I'm into shawl obsession.  So no pics.  Sorry.

On the other hand, I have a finished shawl, which I just love to pieces.

To the Heart of the Mountain, a mystery KAL (knit-a-long)

Yarn:  Findley Dappled in Watermelon Soul ( a slightly heavier lace weight yarn, very easy to knit)

And another one on the needles, Illumine

She quilts; she knits

And in between I bake bread and an occasional cake.  Cleaning?  Hah!  Cooking?  Only enough to survive.  Gimme yarn.  Gimme fabric.

Yarn is merino twin by Wollelfe, an amazing Austrian dyer.  She's on vacation at the moment, which is very good for my pocketbook.  875 yards of soft merino, fingering weight.

The pattern is Illumine, and you can find it on Ravelry, of course.  However did we knitters manage before Ravelry?  I'm number 1702, and the current number of members is 7,178,950!!!!! 

Also working on two mystery KALs (knit-alongs), so no pics until I'm finished.  But I can tell you that they are fun to do.

EPP continues slowly but surely.  2 more blocks and one more added to the quilt.

And 3 hibiscus flowers are blooming.
