Really?

Am I leading such a boring life that I haven't posted since February 12th? Well, I guess I wouldn't be surprised. I recently got a promotion at work which is keeping me nice and busy, but I still find time to knit and stuff (even when I work on the weekends). I actually just finished my cute little baby sweater - but haven't had time in the daylight to take a picture of it. All in good time...

Other than that, not much is new. I have a few more cute little baby knits to make for gifts, so I'll be able to keep myself occupied while watching the Olympics. OH! And I think me and another person at work are going to start a knitting group to meet during lunch. I have a ton of yarn I can donate, and we'll teach newbies to knit. We'll probably do it for charity, so we plan on making either newborn hats, or squares for blankets, or something equally important. I would have laughed if you told me a year ago I would find enough people interested, but we've got quite a list and haven't even started...

Happy V-Day!

A pretty pink shawl for Valentine's Day. This is the Damson pattern (rav link), and it was a nice knit. I bought this pink yarn in Florida with the intent of making something for my mom. Pink is her color, and this was great yarn.  

She just received it in the mail today!

I blocked it so it's nice and big. Hope everyone has a great day!  

Super Sunday

Just doing a bit of knitting.

  

Ulmus Shawl

I finished up my shawl this weekend! (OK, I finished TWO projects but you'll have to wait for that.) For me this was a big project, but it only took a month. And during that month this wasn't the only thing I was focused on...

 

I made the large size, but it can still be worn as a little wrap too. Aren't the colors pretty?? And I love the border of little gold leaves.

It's funny, but all I want to make are these pretty shawls. They're not really practical for me, but I am more drawn to them than I am sweaters. I think it helps that they can be intricate but still fairly easy, and they're portable. 

Have I been boring with all of this knitting? I have a feeling I'll be in full-on quilt mode before too long. I do have a few baby things to make though and think I'll make little sweaters instead of quilts this time. Teensy weensy sweaters are too cute, and fast too!!
