Finally there is knitting to show!
Rosaleen Shawl (by Rachel Coopey) knit from Blue Sky Alpaca in the Papaya colorway
Botanic Hat (by Stephen West) knit from Spud and Chloe Sweater in blue and gray
Both projects are gifts and I am happy with them. I love the pattern on the hat and how the decreases are made. Stephen West did a very nice job with this pattern.
Update on Google Reader / Typepad: I figured it is probably a Typepad issue because nobody else is complaining about their feed taking too long to show up on Google Reader so I opened a help ticket with them. Then I noticed that the post I was waiting on finally showed up. This is really weird. The day I posted to ask you all about it, the first post showed up all of the sudden. And then when I write to Typepad, the post shows up. Probably just a coincidence, but very weird.
Have a great weekend!
yea for finished objects! have a great weekend.
