Queen of Hearts Shawl completed!!

Look at this!



I finally finished the Fiber Trends Queen of Hearts Shawl on Jan 15, just in time to wear it on Valentines Day.


I had to assemble a “make-do” blocking board, but the shawl was so light that it dried overnight. This is my first shawl….and you know what? I really like it! And the pattern is so simple. I admit I was slightly apprehensive when I first began the pattern, but soon realized that it was just a repeat pattern with no unexpected turns.

Thought I’d use my leftover scarlet Merino wool for a dishcloth. The design is so appropriate for today. The pattern is from a dishcloth knit-along that I recently joined. You can find it here.



Here's something for your heart!!

Check out these lovely gloves….

I began them on Jan 19, and completed them on Feb 8.
Okay….I admit I’m not the world’s fastest knitter.

Actually, the second glove went much faster than the first, after I got comfortable with the pattern. The pattern really is a simple one, and I think the gloves are one of the loveliest I’ve seen. I got the pattern here under "My Free Patterns".

I used four size 6 DPNs and Jaegar Merino wool. Many thanks to Kimberly for sharing this wonderful pattern and thanks also for your helpful assistance.
