It's summer.... that's why I don't blog
Well at least this summer. I do have to apologize, but I am just not in the mood.... I hope my blog mojo comes back.
How about looking at your millionth Ishbel?
Yes, I too fell under the spell of the Ishbel. It's the Jaywalker's of shawls I do believe.
I am such a follower. Like a cow, or a goose. But then when you see how beautiful this pattern comes out and you don't even need that much yarn it's easy to see why everyone makes one.
I really thought I could make this with only 2 skeins, but alas, I had to buy a 3rd. Which of course I didn't use up. So it will go to my scrap sock yarn granny square blanket.
Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Weekend.

Long time....no blog
Where have I been! Jeesh! and not showing pretty yarn on Fridays! Well, how about pretty top/roving?
This my friends is hand dyed by yours truly. It is 100% Merino Top, around 8 oz. I kettle dyed this with Cushings Dye. The color on the package said "Copenhagen Blue" I am calling it "Cloudy with a chance of Blue" Hokey I know.... I think it came out beautiful!
Sorry I have been away, but I really haven't been away. Sometimes you just need a little break. I really didn't have much to offer. I mean I am knitting little by little on my sock
I am also conquering Ishbel. Even though I am running out of yarn...
I have like one and a half charts left and I know I won't make it. How did all you others make this with less than 400 yards? What's the secret? So off to the yarn store tomorrow.
I have been doing a little spinning too
AND
So I have been busy. Busy reading too. Ahem.
Oh I almost forgot! I am going to see Missa's BAND play Saturday night in a town near by. I CAN'T WAIT!
