003 TRIPLE BERRY I + II001 SUMMER NIGHT

The yarns are 100% cotton and have a yardage of 480 per 100 gr skein; they change colors gradually. One skein is usually enough for a midsize shawl or shawlette. Recommended needle size: US 2-4

Visiting Neighbor

Imagine my surprise this morning when I found this visiting neighbor in our yard!
Luckily she liked the dewey grass enough to leave the garden alone... Happy Earthday everyone!

Tuscany Shawl

Finished!! Tuscany Shawl
014 Tuscany Shawl005 Tuscany Shawl008 Tuscany Shawl

Pattern: Tuscany by Amy R. Singer (published in the book: No Sheep for You)
Yarn: Wolle's Yarn Creations' 4-ply cotton; 1 skein in BLUE BASIL
Needles: 3.25 mm
Measurements: 63 inches along the straight edge, 18 inches down the middle

The pattern looks much more complicated than it is - the lace repeat is straight forward and easy to memorize. I really like the shape of this shawl: it is really wide and fairly "flat" making it perfect for wrapping around the neck.
