Judy ~ Happy April!

Happy April!  I sure don't know what happened to the rest of March, but we've had some busy days so far this month.  Lots of choir singing is coming up this week, that's for sure.


Even though it's spring,  a cowl can come in handy as it's been cool and rainy here.  I gave this one to a friend.  It's another Interrupted Cowl with a different shade of Bamboozle called Inferno.




Two sets of our friends gained another grandchild late in March, and so I whipped up some booties. Thankfully I had some Plymouth Angora on hand in the right colors!


For almost six weeks I've been working on this shawl that I started long ago. It's probably the most complicated thing I've ever made.  First you knit the edging. Then starting in the middle of the edging you begin the rest of it, using short rows to attach the rest of it which is knitted from the bottom up.  Believe me it's easy to get off between the lace and the chart!  And lots of "tinking" happened in the process.  At the moment it's being blocked, but the photo was taken before I did that. Yippee, it's finally done and I'm keeping it!

Have a nice weekend!

The bamboozle yarn is pretty cool, great colors and texture.
Cute little booties to keep tiny feet warm.
Love the shawl and so glad you got it completed. I'm a beginner knitter and can only manage simple things so I appreciate how difficult this must have been.

Wonderful colors in the bamboozle yarn!

The shawl is wonderful. I can't imagine even attempting something like that, so you deserve big kudos for working through the frustrations and getting it completed.
