A Sunday and some loves...

Happy Sunday! I have offically been over the cruds a week and lovin' it. Thank you for all the get well wishes, they are very much appreciated. Nothing makes you appreciate your health, more than when you are battling ailments, am I right? In the spirit of feeling great, how about I share some recent FOs, WIPs and loves?

An FO! This was the secret knitting I was working on. It has been mailed and is on it's way to a dear friend.

Details:

• Pattern: Lala's Simple Shawl
• Yarn: Beaverslide Dry Goods Light Sportweight. ( I will tell you all about this beautiful yarn next week)
• Needles: Size 6
• Mods: Added a picot edge

So, yeah for an FO. I have quite a bit on the needles right now. All seem to be getting a fair amount of love.

A sock...always a sock on the needles. This is a test knit for the wonderful Robin. I am loving this pattern. The yarn is Sweet Georgia ( this poor skein has been frogged from many a sock patterns, guess it finally found it's match)!

The above is a shawl pattern that was gifted to my from my bestie Ruth. Many in the knitting community are aware of the passing of this dear lady. In her honor there is a KAL going on. While I do not claim to have known her personally, I  did enjoy her podcast and feel that with each stitch I will be reminded to let everyone in my life know how loved they are.

Now that you are up to date with my knitting, how about we check out some loves?

• The uber talented Audry, has really designed a beauty!
• My sister is constantly requesting fingerless mitts, these by Kepanie may just fit the bill.
• Everything Kate knits is beautiul, not suprisingly her sweater is no different.
• This post from Lori just made my day.
• Hooky love is going on over at Ivy's!
• Love this new knitter's hat. I wonder now if Bethany will be having to share her stash.

 

Lastly a song I love. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Beautiful knits as always! Such sad, sad news to hear of Karrie's passing. I had a few cyber conversations with her as she came across as such a warm hearted, friendly, caring person. So very sad - the best ones are always taken from us :(

[marilyn]

so sad...so unfair when someone too young is taken...

your wips and fo's are lovely as always and the trips round the web interesting....love seeing what others do.
and it's good to hear you are all better...take care of yourself...you are precious my lovely. :) :)

Gosh your projects look good. The picot edge really compliments that shawl well.

(And thanks for the shout out!)

I don't think that I ever had any contact with Karrie, but we Ravelers are such a close community that the loss is definitely felt.

On a more positive note, I really, really want to know more about the yarn you used to knit that gorgeous shawl. It almost looks like it has some mohair in it (then I looked and found that I was mistaken). I am honored by the kind mention and I'm very glad to hear that you are feeling better!

[Mr. Puffy]

What a gorgeous shawl and generous gift!!! I will be interested in hearing about that yarn ~ I have a penchant for the rustic ones and that is a brand that although I've heard of it's not one I've tried. Another lovely selection of inspiration ~

[Lisa]

I love that shawl, it looks so squishy and soft. And I am so glad you are feeling better :)

[Lolly]

I'm in love with the edging on that shawl. Usually when it comes to lace I think the more complicated and full of holes, the better, but the simplicity of that shawl is just stunning. I'm also a big fan of those socks.

[evelyn]

I always love seeing what you're working on. The softness of the gray is heavenly and those socks? <3

[sam]

The shawl is gorgeous Andi! Loving those pink socks too... but that probably comes as no surprise. :)

[Susan]

The picot edge with the gray color really adds something to an already lovely pattern. Awesome job!

[Kepanie]

I like the music you listen to. That funny one about the guy telling crazy ways how his girlfriend was gone is played on the radio here all the time. I laugh every time and think of you.
I used to listen to hip hop and R&B. I still love my old faves but today's music is nothin' like it was before. Now I'm into alternative and top 40.
The grey shawl is beautiful! How're you so patient? Ravelry is not loading up well here so I can't check out your new one. I love how you always have a sock on the needles. I've been resisting but maybe I should give in.

[Kepanie]

Oh and thank you so much for mentioning my mitts! I wear them daily when I go outside and they're the right amount of warmth. Plus, I've been gettin' lots of compliments on them too. They're great for someone as that honeycomb st is stretchy and creates a double fabric.

I really love your grey shawl!

[Donaknits]

Beautiful knits! I particularly love the grey shawl, the picot edge makes it so gorgeous and delicate.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas time with your family Andi!
