Wow, it's been a while since I posted on my blog. I have been finishing up some things and trying some new stuff. I took a class at Magpie. It was knitting a lace shawl. I can't tell you how many times I ripped down to my lifeline. There were a couple of times that I almost gave up. You can see the results. I am very proud. The blocking went great. I have also been hand painting some yards for scarves. It is so much fun working with all these bright colors and of course these beautiful yarns. The blue, chartruese and red one is made of 50% merino and 50% mohair. It feels so soft. I am working with a blue one now. I will publish it as soon as I finish it. Check out my octagon sunshine. I knitted with hand-dyed roving and big, big needles. It was fun to watch it take shape. I am going to try alpaca roving next. I'll let you know. I hope that your summer is going well and not too fast. I look forward to hearing from you. Happy Knitting, Jan.
