Whatt have I been up to.............
Wow, it's been a long time since I posted on Ravelry. What have I been doing????? Well, I have been knitting some, painting some and visiting family some....As far as knitting goes, I have finished socks, preemie caps and a hoodie for BWA as a sample sweater for their website. According to Marilyn, it should be available on her website soon. She was very gracious in sewing on the buttons for me. The sweater is a Chic knits pattern and it is the basic hoodie (lace version). Fun knit and a very practical sweater that you would wear a lot. Check it out soon.
On the painting front, I have painted two wall murals for a lady who wanted to make her grandkids overnight room special. She wanted an outdoor scene that had a tree and frog pond. She later requested another wall with kites and their names on the kites.
On the family front, we just returned from the annual family reunion to Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Paul's 93 yo aunt lives there with her son and daughter in law. Saw the baby donkey ( now grown) that was conceived before our very eyes at the last reunion we attended. Yes, Shrek (the daddy) and Fiona (the Mom) have been busy yet again and are expecting again later this year.

Kilkenny Cable Shawl
Wow! Some things take a long time to knit. This was one of those projects that seemed to go on forever. Partly because this shawl is pretty warm on your lap and knitting it in warm weather was enough to remind me of the all too familiar "hot flashes" I experienced a few years back.
The shawl pattern is from Cheryl Oberle's, Folk Shawls book. I love the shawls in that book and when I saw a fellow knitter, Cathy, modeling hers a few retreats back, I knew I had to knit it. I knit it smaller and narrower than the pattern called for. The yarn is Black Water Abbey's, colorway Bracken. I think this will keep me pretty cozy this winter.
Thanks go to Karen for taking the photos. She is such a good photographer. The photos were taken at my favorite knit shop, Knit Knack in old town Arvada. I love the shop and our little group of friendly and gracious knitters.
