I am currently trying to finish the Queen Anne’s Lace shawl. I also have two skeins of handspun that want to be knitted into shawls this summer.

Had to zero in on that..and what did I find? Aromatherapy TALC powder! (unscented) Isn’t that a oxymoron (aroma/unscented)? I almost got excited there for a minute! he-he ;)

What a wonderful ring thanks for thinking to share :) …and peonies have got to be my favorite, too! GORGEOUS!

They’ve been my favorite flowers since a was a tiny (really – preschool age)m girl One of my cousins (she was just 4 years younger than my mother – I grew up with her kids) had a yard full of peonies in white & a couple of different shades of pink. I have been in a knitting slump the past few weeks. I think I may make a 5 hour baby sweater. I have a left over skein of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes hand dyed in a lovely opalescent colorway (don’t know why they discontinued it) plus about a quarter of the skein I used to knit a hat. So I think I have enough for a hooded 5 HBS. My older daughter’s best friend since junior high is pregnant (she was not happy at being referred to as an elderly primip at 39!) & I want to make her a few things. But every thing I start turns wonky. I just do not have the knitting fu.

I will be following your progress and living “la vida loca ala lace” vicariously through you.

I alrady made 2 but they’re like potato chips. For major lace I’m working on a Fan Shawl off the crytal Palace website. They are modules that fit together like the tiles of an old Spanish mosque. I figured out a way to go from one to the other and not be braking the thread after every one. I pick up 25 stitches along the side (Which would have had to have been picked up at some point anyway), put them on a safety pin and then pick up the 50 stitches I need for the next fan. When i come to the safety pin again later and need the stitches I just knit them off the safety pin. No ends to weave in. The yarn is cascade heritage silk paints in a semi-solid purple/lavender. 85% merino and 15% silk. #7 short wooden needles.
Yummy to work.

But I’ve decided to pretend the summer doesn’t exist and slog on with my Alice Starmore Fair Isle (Mara). Can I do it when it is 90 degrees and humid? Tune in in about a month. (Just in case I wimp out, I’ve pulled out a ton of lace yarn and an assortment of patterns.)
