SUPER QUICKIES

This was going to be my quarterly report, but it's quickly moving on to a semi-annual status, so I'm getting these photos posted with a minimum of fuss and bother. Take it or leave it, my friends; this is the best I can do right now. No problems at all....just leading a busy life.

From months ago, but adorable nonetheless....granddaughters Abby and Paige model their Pleated Twirly Skirts.

And by the way, these two charmers have a new baby sister, Mia. Yes....I now have FIVE granddaughters! When I started this blog, I didn't have any. Daunting thought!

Next, my fresh off the needles Volt Shawl, made with Isager #1.

 

Back in October (waaaay back), our guild started an exchange activity. I put yarn into a bag that I wanted someone to knit up into a shawl for me. I received a bag of yarn from someone else that she wanted knit into a shawl for her. Here are the completed shawls. Completely coincidentally, the person knitting for me made the same pattern that I made for my person. But look....completely different yarns...completely different looks.

The LynnH Colorama Shawl for Elizabeth:

 

And Debbie Waarner knit the same pattern for me, using Classic Elite Alpaca Silk

I can't say enough good things about this pattern. Details about all four items in this post are readily available on Ravelry.

There...caught up, more or less.

Till we meet again....

I just finished knitting the colorama shawl, too, but don't have good pics of it post-blocking. It is a really nice pattern, and well thought out.

The shawl is pretty. . . I think I prefer it in the solid color, but now you've made me all curious and I'm going to have to go check Ravelry.

And I love the Volt shawl - that looks like the kind of thing that you are going to wear a lot, always a good sign for a knitted item.
