Doily

I became inspired the other day and broke out some thread and an itty bitty crochet hook and hooked this bad boy right here. I like doing doilies because they are super complex, super intricate and super quick. This seriously took me less than a week from start to finish. I just need to block it now to take out the wrinkles.

I still haven't finished blocking the frost flowers and leaves shawl because really, so much has been going on in my life that I just haven't had the time for it, but I'm 3/4 of the way done, since it's such a massive undertaking to. Perfection takes time, as a wise person once told me. Will post pictures as soon as its complete.

It's finally finished!

 

 

I don't think I've ever been happier in all my life. The Fost Flowers and Leaves Shawl is done! I actually finished "the never ending shawl" and I am completely beside myself.

I started this in February of 2007 - according to my Ravelry start date - so it took me only 5 years and 3 months to complete it. In all fairness, I did completely frog it and start from scratch June of 2011 because I found I didn't listen to the instructions and the whole thing was coming out skewed. This has seriously been the longest project, the most complicated, and the biggest project I have ever worked on. It's currently blocking, and the full sized futon I have it on is not big enough. I donth think my bed would be big enough to block the whole thing. I have to do it a quarter at a time.

So I'm going to celebrate just a little tonight and more pictures are forthcoming.

Relisting Time!

Be on the look out, I am relisting items that have not sold and really need a new home.  Things like Girasol and Falling Tears which are completely gorgeous and if they don't leave soon, I will end up turning them into something.

I'm making progress!

I'm finally making progress on what I have coined my "Never-Ending Shawl", otherwise known as the Frost Flowers and Leaves Shawl. I am working on the border now, which also seems to be never ending. I've been working on the border for 2 weeks now and haven't reached the midway point yet. I'm getting there...slowly.

Quick update

I haven't been doing much lately.  I've been concentrating solely on what I've termed the "Never Ending Shawl", which is really the Frost Flowers and Leaves shawl.  I've made some progress and am finishing up the second of three charts.  I should hopefully be done with that today, but we'll see.  I want to get started on Chart 3 already and be done with it.  It's truly coming out beautiful.  

 

I'm also planning some future knitting that I'm really excited about when I finish this shawl.  I haven't been spinning as much as I like because of work, but I will get to it.  Soon enough.  There's also been some other things going on in my life lately that I will reveal in due time.  A lot of really exciting stuff going on.  Keep an eye out fo it.
