I think your model should be shown wearing the shawl . . . It’s too bad there isn’t non-stop hoops every day–you’d get a lot done!
lol – she would if I let her! She loves it when I knit – she sits quietly at my feet, batting at the yarn going by. Now and then she chews through it without my noticing, until suddenly I have an unexpected end of yarn!
Yes, I get lots done this time of year, but if it were all year long, I think I would go mad. ๐ And I Do have to go to work now and then, so it is good it is mostly weekends and only for a month or so. ๐
Wow, you were BUSY! They’re all so lovely!
Lots of work, but there’s lots of basketball. The problem is once the bball is over I feel strangely untethered like there is something I should be doing but I’m not. It takes me awhile to get back into normal tv viewing. Love your little model. How delicate to chew through a piece of yarn. She’s absolutely a keeper!
I agree – Even now, when the games are all done for the week, I wonder what we will do? The women’s bracket is getting as crazy as the men’s so it is interesting, for sure. I never expected Notre Dame or Baylor to not be in the Final Four. And it will all be over a week from today. Then I will have to find a new excuse to park and knit for whole weekends. ๐
Lovely, all three. It’s always great when there’s plenty to watch while knitting.
yes, it is! And when there is a great excuse to park on the couch for hours at a time and no one else complains. ๐
Wonderful progress.
Thanks!
loving the shawl.. really pretty in Red. ๐
thank you!
Such a beautiful array of stitching! I think the model would have looked adorable in the hat ๐ I don’t know if I can pick a favorite! They are all beautiful works of art.
thanks!
