.... since my last post. There's no excuse for not posting .... just plain laziness ! In the morning, I usually check my emails, read the news, browse through ravelry & other fav blogs - this takes up more than 1 hour & by then, I will be too tired to do anything else.
I would rather spend the time knitting & I have been knitting lots - a couple of secret projects & a couple of Christmas presents. They are all done but I can post any pictures. But I do have a project that I can post .....
Lydia (my musician daughter) is going on a Europe Music Tour in April 2011 & it will cost us $9000 for the 18 days tour. So the Music Support Group is organising a major fund raiser event, Auction of Promises . So I made a promise , picture of shawl is just a sample, this is the actual shawl ......
..... Swallowtail .... this is my 2nd as I knitted the 1st Swallowtail 2 years ago & had a terrible time with the nupps. So this time, I had replaced the nupps with beads & it has came out so gorgeous but I wish I had use bigger beads.
The shawl is knitted in Mini Maiden & I don't the know the color as this skein has been sitting in my stash for the past 2 years. I love the colors & the yarn is so lovely although the silk does not really block very well.
I feel so sad to give this away but a promise is a promise .......
