Currently, I'm working on this Queen of Hearts Shawl from Fiber Trends.




I'm using Jaeger, DK, Extra Fine Merino wool. It's being knitted on a size 9 (29") circular needle.


It's progressing very well. I thought the shawl would be complicated, and I would get totally lost in the yarnovers, sk2ps, and sskps, but so far so good.





This is a project completed as a gift. The yarn is Bernat, Softee Baby. The design for the hat and booties is from my collection of patterns purchased over the years. The name of the book is "Precious Heirloom Christening Sets", published by The American School of Needlework. The blanket is from the book, "Quick Knitted Afghans", by Jeanne Stauffer. I used a pair of size 3, straight, knitting needles for the hat and booties and a size 11 (29") circular needles for the blanket.

Hello!

Today is the birthday of my blog. It will chronicle my craft activities and other events that are important to me. Hopefully, you will find something of interest that might be inspiring to you or someone you know. I enjoy sharing information, and am often inspired by others also. My goal is to be able to look back on this date and see the growth I've experienced as I attempt new techniques and projects.
