Love, Peace, Flowers

I have not posted in over a week as I was in a class all last week and did not have full access to the internet and all. I was in a Linux Troubleshooting class. Does anyone know what that is ??? Does anyone give a flying freak of the week ?? Anyways, I finished this sweater from Knit 1 mag. It was made of Schaefer Laurel yarn that I got from Adela's in Castro Valley. I LOVE that yarn. It has great consistency and comes in beatiful colors.

And my beautiful SIL to be is wearing it and and *HAD* to have it so it was given to her. She looked great in it and I was happy that someone liked one of my creations. It's the same feeling as when a good cook gets compliments on a meal. Uh huh, same thang! I REALLY want to make another few of these, but I have soooo many other things that I also want to make. What's a knitter to do ....???

I crocheted this little flower to put on the lapel of the sweater or in the hair or wherever... It'nt it cute ?? LOVE LOVE those colors

I think it might turn out to be quiet beautimous after all. I have only one more panel to go before I can finish it up and be done. What the hell am I waiting for ?? Five panels on my first hairpin lace shrug  Here is the finished product. I have actually worn it and washed it and THEN took this picture. It washed well. I don't normally like to wash my projects - I know dumb, but I get scared! But I partied like it was 1999 in this shrug last Friday and it it got a little dirty - from what, I don't freaking know. But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

Another FO. This is Cleo from Knitty. I used Schaefer Laurel (I think this is my fav yarn right now). The color is great. Too bad the model is not. I still need to put in the elastic so it will fit better at the high waist. I really like this pattern. I think I will defo make it again but with a little more coverage over my sagging you-know-whats :) This is Cleo

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
