It was suggested recently, that since I did go through a long blogging dry spell, but not a crafting dry spell, that I should occasionally post pictures of past finished objects. Since the sock I finished yesterday at breakfast with Grace is still in my car and it's drizzling (as much as I love snow and thunderstorms - I turn into a cat with cold rain... let's not even discuss how grouchy I get when my feet get wet!) Here are two items from the recent unblogged past.
My Dreambird shawl. Love this shawl- perfect colors for me, I wore it a lot over the holidays. A lot of people making this shawl did variegated yarn (color changing) for the feathers with a more solid background - I went in the reverse.
The second one took about three months to make - and believe it or not the back which is plain except for the roadway at the waist took longer - because it was somewhat boring to knit a plain grey rectangle.. I gave it to Christopher for Christmas.
as you know my dreambird was the opposite that you described, I gave it to Paula, Tom's brother's girlfriend, and she loves it, and the sweater is perfection!
