FO: First Prayer Shawl

By -

I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Leftover sock yarns in 3 colorways.
Angel Hair Yarns ( Tennessee ) Pattern
Butterfly Shawl
Knitted on sqaure circulars....gotta love that
I cast on 180 stitches instead of 360 stitches.
The fun is: you knit the Longest part first.
Crocheted a border and worked the ends in simultaneously.

The best part is: No pain. My prayer shawl was prayers of thanksgiving!

Next up: another shawlette. of course. Bigger yarn. More leftovers.

I have to tell you : The Cake Pie was a bust.
I brought into work all pretty. Then I put it out
and sliced it.....
not cooked enough to eat in the middle!
I think I'll stick to chips and dip.
It is all good. Pretty much anything you bring to work
gets eaten.
(except raw cake....hahahahaha)

The shawl is beautiful!! I love the colors. I'm glad to hear you are starting another!

Raw cake is okay. You just have to use a spoon instead of a fork. You could have called it a pudding cake!

oh no - sorry about the cake pie! I love your shawl and what a great idea to use up leftover yarn.

You crack me up. I could have said it was pudding cake, but I was afraid the whole weekend shift would get diarrhea. Then I would be the talk of the unit for YEARS to come.

Love the patriotic colors. Is this one for you? I hope so. I'm glad you can now knit without pain. That is a blessing and I hope it continues. Did the square needles make a difference?

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
