Me second lace shawl - 198 Yard of Heaven

Well, I'm quite pleased. This really is a great pattern to start with, as the pattern repeats are separated by purl stitches on the right side. I'm not sure I totally like the edging, but it sure looks great blocked. I knit it in Hand Maiden Cashmere and Silk for my SIL who is dealing with some serious health issues. She'll be getting it shortly.

Fluffy

Fluffy is now 3 months old. When I picked her up, she was 8 weeks, and weighed 850 grams. She is an absolute delight.

I've adopted a kitten!

My grandson was soo disappointed that we couldn't bring her home on our first visit, he asked if I could knit him a kitten. And he wanted it to look like "Fluffy". I remembered a crochet pattern I had from Annie's Attic, called "granny's comin'".

It's not that I'm not knitting!

Although I have to admit, I'm not knitting as much at the moment, it just seems that time flies by, and months have passed since I last posted. Well, the Conifer Shawl is done and blocked. I'm pretty proud of it. Even though I found out about the errata after I had finished that section, and chose not to take it back. So today, I share the picture of the blocked shawl, in all it's glory.

It's Done!!!! Go! Canada!

And not too soon. I would not have been able to knit during the hockey game today. That was an amazing game, with two absolutely terrific teams. It's too bad someone has to "lose", although I don't consider a silver medal a loss.
Wow! Am I proud to be a Canadian today!
I'm planning on relaxing and enjoying the closing ceremonies tonight.

GO! CANADA! GO!

I'm sooo enjoying the Olympics, and the knitting!

Opening Ceremonies! WOW!

Spectacular! Knitting not so good! I managed to get started, but when I looked at it this morning, I realized one of the cable crosses goes the wrong way, so it will be ripped back to below the cable.
GO CANADA GO!!!
