New spinning project »»
July 14, 2009
Whoa! Somebody stop me!
I have another shawl done!
I had my doubts about the color combination, but I really like this! Here is the famous shot on the clothes line shot(with clothes on it...)
Then there is always the ubiquitous shot on the bush shot
Then we have the new "shot on the husband" shot. Which may not be new or original at all...
I had asked him to take some pictures of me with it on, but clearly he was engaged in other matters. I don't even think he knew I did this
because after he asked if I wanted him to take the pictures now. I said, Nope! All set honey! Good thing he's a good sport.
Specs:
Yarn: Noro Kureyon Sock - Color S40
Needles: US 4 Circular - 24 inch
Pattern: Simple But Effective Shawl by Laura Chau
Notes: I used up pretty much all of this yarn. I had too little gumball sized balls left.
I am taking the next 3 days off from work and doing a mini vacation! YAY FOR ME! We are going to do a day trip to Howe Caverns and really just lounge around. I won't be checking up on any of you online pals. But you can be sure I will be knitting or spinning something.
Ciao!

Don't stop the knitting or the great photo taking. LOL. The guitar is a nice touch.
Have a great mini-vacation.

Just happened by your blog--and wow! I can't tell you how much I love your shawl. It's simply beautiful. Patient husband too. Perfect!!!

Love it!
I had hubby model a vintage apron for sale on ebay once. I got more offers for him, than for the apron!
He has beautiful long blonde hair, and has offered to model shawls form the back for me (the full beard might be jarring for some in a frontal view)
