I really do finish things sometimes. Here are a few of my recent finished objects. This next photo looks like a pair of underpants at first but look closer…
I knit this beauty for my friend Pat when she passed the bar last year. It's the
Forget-Me-Not Shawl by Shui Kuen Kozinski and I found it pleasingly geometric, yet super classy. I knit it in elann's Peruvian Baby Silk, which I can heartily recommend — it's a light fingering weight alpaca/silk blend, and knits into something light as air and surprisingly warm. The perfect summer evening shawl. So pleased.
Also really happy with this afghan I knit for my cousin Cindy's wedding to Owen.
It's Lion Brand's Nature in Natural afghan, with a few twists to make it come out neater and prettier, and a little extra yarn to make it longer (Cindy & Owen are very tall!).
It took five months for me to get this done — I thought I'd do it in a month. Oops. I have enough yarn to knit another one for myself, because I really fell in love with the pattern. I think my yarn is light blue though.

The blanket is gorgeous Valerie! Beautiful work! (Yes, I've been checking your blog recently and so glad to still see you around!)
I'm thrilled to see you online! I miss your blog.
I've just put it back online publicly.. had it hidden for a few years. It's been a strange time for me, but I'm getting all of that sorted ;) I am dusting off the blog and cleaning it up a bit, as I have been thinking of blogging again. I do miss it, so it looks like I am returning!
I will probably have a new post up in the next couple of weeks. I was shocked to see that I've actually been away for three and a half years! Eek!
