Ta Da!!!!

I finished the 100th Camping Anniversary Pi Shawl last week.  It sure seemed like it took forever to bind off those 895 stitches at the end.

Details
Pattern 100th Anniversary Pi Shawl (Camping)
Yarn  Knit Picks Gloss Lace in Port
Needles Size 6
Started August 10,2010
Finished September 22, 2010

The blocked shawl is approximately 52 inches across.  I love how blocking a shawl makes it look incredible.  I am tempted to knit another Pi Shawl but I have a couple of other projects to finish first.

Wow!! September is Almost Half Over!

I have been busy with all sorts of projects.I finished the hat for my friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I had everyone in the family give it hugs before I send it off.  I hope she will like it and I hope she  kicks cancer's hiney.

I finished a sock yesterday while watching the Kansas City Chiefs play.  It was a really late game so I only watched the first quarter.  It is the Hermione Everyday Sock in Colinette Jitterbug in the Fushia colorway.  It was a pretty quick knit for me.

The progress on the Port blob continues.  I am on the third of four repeats of the last chart before starting the border.  The rows at this point have 576 stitches so they take awhile.  I am excited about finishing this shawl and casting on another Pi Shawl because I am really enjoying knitting this one.

For some reason, I thought I needed to crochet something this morning.  I dug out some kitchen cotton and crocheted this dishcloth up.  I am not sure what the pattern is, it was something one of the ladies at knitting was told me about last week.  The dishcloth only took me about 90 minutes.

Anniversary Pi Shawl

Earlier this week was EZ's 100th birthday.  My friend AmandaCathleen (Ravelry ID) decided she was going to knit one of the Anniversary Shawls.  I decided to join in so we are doing a little KAL between  the two of us.  I can't remember which one she chose to do but I am doing the Camping version.  I frogged the Shetland Tea Shawl that I started over a year and a half ago and I am using that yarn.  It is Knit Picks Gloss Lace in Port which I think is no longer available.  I am using a size 5 needle.  I started this on her birthday but had to rip it out the next morning after I made some mistake that I couldn't seem to fix.  I have to admit I am not found of casting on circular shawls but I love how you just get to knit knit knit and not a lot of purling.  If I finish this without too much trouble and it I may try to knit one or both of the others.
