Hey everybody, I am thinking about trying a shawl or something like it.

Here's a pic - not sure what the camera did to my face...it looks like my dad is posing (hmmm...)

OK, the summer of scarf making is coming to an end, and I've gotta do some blocking...

Here is a picture of my third shawl that I am making for my neighbor Kathy. It should be finished by this weekend.

Here is my sales pitch for this project:

Most of you don't follow my regular blog, so I thought I'd put up a picture of what I bought at the Fiber Festival. Believe it or not, I only bought 1 (2) thing(s)... ok...

Swatched: 22nd July 2008
Started: 24th July 2008
Finished: WIP
Yarn: "Carpe Diem" from Lang Yarns; 70% merino, 30% alpaca
Needles: 5.5 cm / 80 cm Addi Turbos
Pattern: "Putting Down Roots" from "Inspired Cabled Knits" by Fiona Ellis
Modification: Using bigger needles and yarn, so less pattern repeats. Will be eliminating the turned cuffs and the turtle-neck for ribbed cuffs and v-neck. I also added the ribbing at the bottom of the body, too.
