Proof

This is a knitting blog; I should show some.

I’m steadily working on the Swallowtail Shawl from IK.  The true color is the top picture.  I’ve got one more repeat of the budding lace 2 chart, before I move on to the next chart.  This is an easy knit.  I’ve got the pattern repeat of the current chart memorized making it pretty quick.  I just can’t knit more than a few rows at a time, hence the slow progress.

I’m currently pondering the next thing to cast on.  A patterned pair of socks, another lace project, or a sweater?  What would you do?  I’m thinking a sweater using some of the Malabrigo I have in the stash.

    Ooooo it is sooooo pretty!!! You have gotten quite a bit farther on it then the last time I saw it. The precess might be slow, but look what you will have in the end.

    I say go for the sweater. You know you want to bust out that Malabrigo. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hi. I just found your website from one of my blog buddies. You son is adorable! My son Joseph is 3 1/2 yrs and has DS. We didn’t know before hand either. Joe has major heart defects and had open heart surgery at 15 weeks. He is now a healthy, active, big kid.
