Hey! What’s Going On?

What the heck have I been doing? Well, for one, I have had a lingering cold since my Birthday 3 weeks ago! It has made everything dreary for a while. But, here is what else I have been up to!

I also went shopping for some beads at an amazing bead warehouse store. These are amazing sparkly beads that I am going to spin with this roving that I plan to card with this sparkly sparkly.

I also got these amazing copper beads to go with this copper suri alpaca laceweight that was a gift for my birthday from my Mother-in-Law. This will become a beaded scarf. I am thinking this one.

I finished a shawl for a Christmas gift. I made the Centrique Shawl using Claudia Handpainted Yarns Silk Laceweight in the Ink colorway. The end result is about 48″ wide.

I am happy with the pattern. I am thrilled with the yarn. Luckily I have a ton of this left so I get to make something for myself! Yay! Oh, and here is a bad photo of it on me for size perspective.

These are a new purse knitting project, Tristan & Isolde socks! Love it! The colors are this saturated and bright!

And….what I haven’t been working on….I can’t believe I will be showing you this, but this is my sad sad garden.
