Where has the time gone - it's almost JUNE!
We've stocked up on yarns from the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. We're ready for your summer projects.
I should have my french bete noir sewn up by tomorrow and ready for a collar. This will require more adjustments to the pattern because the ribbing might not work into the ribbed collar well. Ah, another challenge. I will keep you posted and post a photo of the finished work.
The Dotted Rays shawl has posed some interesting problems. The original was knit out of a solid color. Of course I was taken by the images where there were color changes. The problem arises were you use a separator color and then start a new color. Without a small manipulation to the pattern you end up with a whole edge of just separator color. Hmmmmm. I think I've found a way around the pattern but a couple more color changes will tell.
When you see the model you will be able to see the change. I will write up what it is that I am doing when I am sure that it gives a good result.

I have to admit that the start of the Dotted Rays shawl is interesting. I'm glad that I'm doing the pattern because a simple notation will make it easier if you decide to knit the shawl. Come on in and I will explain.

Just arrived! Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 in 6 colors. Three of them match the Color Affection Shawl store sample but all 6 colors would work for this pattern and many other patterns. Have fun mixing and matching!
Many of you have been waiting for the custom dyed order to arrive so "Thank you" for you your patience.
I am working on a Lana Grossa garment right now and sewing up the sleeves on the Penta Cardigan. I will be starting Stephen West's, Dotted Rays shawl using Kauni in 12 solids. Ask to see the colors that I've chosen. This was the inspiration:
