WIP Wednesdays: 2 Shawls and a Sweater

So, we had a pretty good sized storm out here in Las Vegas a couple of days ago. It ended up knocking out our internet.  So, I'm a day late for Wednesday.

One nice thing about not having the internet, is that I didn't have any distractions. I was actually able to get some work done.

I got started on my September shawl.

I picked up the sweater I'm making for mom for Christmas. 

I got a little bit more done on my BONUS shawl. 

I also worked on my cross stitch some more (I'll post that on Sunday).

Last night I made a yummy dinner (but I didn't think about taking a photo.) Swedish Spareribs.

And last week I finished my August shawl.

Last Saturday the Boyfriend and I went out and bought a new bed. We decided to get a king sized memory foam bed from Costco.

The bed is awesome. Really comfy. But as usual, the cat prefers the box it came in. 

Year of Shawls: March Holden

Looks like we're up to the March shawl. (Who am I fooling...I don't think people actually read this...)

For March I did the Holden Shawlette. One thing I've noticed since starting this quest of one shawl a month this year, is I'm picking up a bunch of different words. Like shawlette. Google wants to auto-correct that to Hewlett. Yeah. Hewlett. As in Hewlett-Packard, the computer company.

Looks like I'm not the only one picking up new words. It looks like a shawlette is a small shawl.

Definitely not a computer.

Either way, enough rambling.

I knit this using stash yarn from a weaving project. Its Lion Brand 1878, which is a fingering weight 100% wool yarn. Its perfectly lovely for weaving projects. For the price, you honestly can't beat the quantity or the quality.

I'm actually planning my next weaving project right now. I'm going to make hand woven curtains.

Sometimes I think I just might be a bit crazy. 

Its a very simple shawl pattern. The edge kinda resemble waves. The shawl is finished off with a picot edge. All in all, I love the look of the shawl.

And I'm not the only one.

My cat decided to photo bomb my shawl.

 Here's a close up:

Whats kinda interesting is that he never really climbs up into that little nook. Turns out he was just waiting till he could be in a photo.
