Yarn Along

Joining Ginny from Small Things

I finally finished the sweetie scarf this past week at my parent's  home. I decided to give this scarf to my daughter because she liked it and thought it was snugly. I think it looks great on her and will be fun to wear this winter. For whatever reason, this pattern gave me trouble. I would lose track in my brain of the pattern. There are some projects that my mind refuses to grasp. 

I just started a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. It is called Shoreline Lace Shawl. I just thought it was so beautiful and a bit complex for my novice knitting hands. But I am happy to report and show that is turning out quite well. I wonder why I can grasp this complex pattern but flounder over a simple one. My knitting aura must have been off last week. I really love the color of yarn, Lake. I will be starting a ballet bag for my daughter this week. She is starting dance in the fall and I thought it would be an appropriate gift. I was a student of ballet for 20 years and a dancer for a short period of time before my husband swept me up and carried me off for a life with the Navy.

Alas, I digress, we just went to the library last night and as you can tell by the stack of books I am ready for the some reading.  Happy Knitting! Cheers!
