All the project notes said this one knits up fast and they are correct. I started this last Friday evening and I only have about 20 rows to go. Now I am loving the section I'm doing now, the Knotted Openwork. I have oodles of yarn left so I think I'm going to make this section larger. The yarn I'm using is called Summer Sunset and it is a hand-dyed yarn from a local knitter, Mindy Wilkes. Her company is called Ewe3 Yarns. She has a etsy shop but it is empty right now - darn it. This yarn is 70% alpaca, 20% silk and 10% cashmere and it feels wonderful. The colors are pale yellow, peach and sand. I will need to block this to get all those eyelets to open up.
It has been a busy busy week. I've had places to go every day this week and now I'm looking forward to spending the weekend at home. I have lots of fun projects to work on - this shawl, my Sugar Dish quilt and the Willie's Sampler cross stitch, just to name a few. And I have several new project ideas that I can't wait to start. I am one lucky girl!
Have a great weekend!
