Since I learned how to do short rows making my Abrazo shawl, I decided to continue the theme and knit another shawl by the same designer. It's called
Annis. The construction is the same as for the Abrazo. You cast on lots and lots of stitches...maybe I should say hundreds and hundreds...363 to be exact, knit 18 rows of lace, and then knit the stockinette/short row portion. Block and you've got a very pretty shawl.
I am loving the Knit Picks lace yarn. This one is
Gloss Lace. It's so reasonably priced and very nice.
Look at these nupps! This is a new skill I learned making this shawl. They are not hard to do, but require some patience, especially on the purl row when you have to purl 7 stitches together.
Despite that, this was a very quick project for me--10 days from cast-on until I took it off the blocking board. I think I'll be making more of these for Christmas presents.
This spot at the dog park is always full of mud if it has recently rained. Lucy knows that. She finds it and wallows in it. Can you see her tennis ball in the lower right of the photo? Can you see the mud on her tongue?
This is what she looked like when she got out. Notice, she also took the tennis ball out. A friend who saw this photo said, "She looks like a Suburban that went off-roading."
Apparently this is a very comfortable way to sleep in the crate.
I see that a lot of people do Wordless Wednesday posts, so I thought I'd occasionally try it. That's already more words than I should post so I'll shut up.
