I admit, I'm a new knitter. It's been less than a year since I picked up the needles, but I've found a love for yarn and sitting with my husband with the TV on and knitting in my lap. It is a portable craft, so it is great to take along with you on holiday.
So far, I've done fairly simple projects. A baby blanket. A headscarf. I'm working on a prayer shawl that is destined to be torn apart (more on that in a later post).
Things I've fallen in love with...
2 hour wrap
Easy triangle shawl
Another easy triangle shawl
So right sarong
Butterfly shawl
Why shawls? I've just always loved them. I get cold at night, even indoors in summertime, but sometimes a sweater is too much. And there's something cozy yet feminine about a shawl, especially one that has a fringe or some openwork. I am planning on doing the first triangle shawl I posted as my next knitting project. I can have it done in time to wear it this fall/winter, I think.
As an added bonus, Michael's is having a sale this weekend. They've got Lion Homespun on special. Methinks I'll be buying my yarn on Monday. My rayon boucle shawl can wait since it is more of a summer shawl and summer is drawing to a close, even in California. The weather here gets weird. Mildly hot, then really hot for a short time, then it cools right off. Nights are always cool. Anyway, I can knit the rayon boucle over the winter.
