a sweater and a shawl
I’m finally whittling away at my list of knitting projects. (Although I’ve got quite the list of new things piling up in my mind – partially thanks to the shipment of books we just got in the store.)
I finally finished this sweater I started in February for my friend Brooke, who is due next month.
The yarn is Rowan All Seasons Cotton and the pattern is a Knitting Pure and Simple pattern (#241) that is wonderfully easy.
I also finished a shawl I’ve been working on for my mom’s birthday… March 17. Oops. I’ve concluded that shawls are impossible to photograph, so here is a disappointing photo of it. Really it’s fresh and modern and has an amazing drape. I’ve got some yarn to make one for myself too.
The yarn is Rowan Linen Print – 7 balls
Pattern is from the store, it’s called the Purl Shawl. Yep, all purling baybee!
Next on my list is finalizing a pattern for a class I’m teaching on Saturday and finishing up a baby sweater pattern that I’m teaching in a few weeks. What a busy life I lead…

Very cute! I love knitting with the All Season’s Cotton. It comes out looking so professional and neat. I can’t believe how much you’ve finished lately!

I love the color on that sweater! I can’t wait until Anna has hair and can wear blue without being called “an adorable little boy”!

I love that sweater. I wish I could knit on more than just straight needles.
