First FO of 2008!

January 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 pm (Finished Items)

It is finished and I am in love. I had doubts about the cream yarn right up until I bound off the last stitch, but I am so happy with it!

The cats like it too. I wish I’d been able to get a non-blurry picture of Mimi (the white cat) playing with the shawl, it was darned cute.

Blocking. Not a perfect job, but good enough for right now.

Details:
Leaf Lace Shawl by Evelyn Clark for Fiber Trends. Started October 2007, finished January 2008. Alpaca sportweight yarn from Blue Mountain Alpacas (sadly, I am unable to find them on the internet anymore) in Espresso and Cream. US 8 / 5.0mm KnitPicks Options metal needles. (I love Ravelry for helping me track these details!)

I hope tomorrow’s a nice bright day so we can get some pictures of this! I also hope it dries fast so I can put it on - it’s darned cold out.

    It’s gorgeous! I admit the colors make me think of Oreos or Moon Pies. : )
