Could it be? Pretty Yarn Friday? »»

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.

I have a friend who's completed 5 (FIVE!! Incomprehensible!) Ishbels.
I think it is a beautiful disease. ;o)
Yours looks great!

I'm with ya, on the summer blog blues.
Ishbel is beautiful! Can she be made shorter?
Happy 4th to you!

You've just about talked me into knitting an Ishbel! Except I never did knit Jaywalker socks. Beautiful shawl!

That's a mighty purdy shawl...is the color more true to the purple-ish in the last pic? it looks totally different in the one above it.? How was your weekend? good I hope..

I do believe yours is the first Ishbel I've seen, and it's lovely!! I know what you mean about the blog mojo... haven't been reading many, and I see there are 250 unread posts... how is a person to keep up?

I love Ishbel and will probably succumb to the siren call. Yours is lovely!
