Bear with me here, folks. It’s late, I’m tired, but I wanted to get these posted before I forgot…

The (finally) finished Leaf Lace Shawl:

and close up:

Project specs:
Pattern: Fibertrends Leaf Lace Shawl
Materials: Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn, 2 skeins, which wasn’t quite enough (or, realistically, wasn’t quite as enough as I’d planned on it being. The shawl is PLENTY big, so I shouldn’t complain), and one tube of size 6ish clear seed beads
Time to knit: Oh, hell, I have no idea. Coupla weeks? Something. Not too long, and if I hadn’t been working on several pairs of socks at the same time I probably could have done it in half the time I did. But variety is the spice of life, no?

Sock 1 of O’s new socks - she picked the colors (it’s Socks That Rock, medium weight, in Cobalt Bloom and Seal Rock) and told me she wanted color pattern this time vs. stitch pattern. She asked for dingle balls, but got beads instead. She digs the beads, so it’s all good.

And, lastly, the necklace I made last weekend with Angela (she made shinies for her knitting, I made a shiny for my neck. Silly me)

There you have it. Pictures. Of stuff. Ooh! And happy mother’s day to all you moms out there!

    The shawl is beautiful, but it’s the socks that are my first love! Did you follow a pattern, or make it up? Love the beads.

    Oooooh! Ahhhhh! Gorgeous shawl. Damned hard to photograph those beads, eh? The socks and the neck art are lovely too.
