by Gabriel Ordenes. The yarn is Lost City Knits Foothills Fingering in the colorway
Rumplestilskin. It took one skein. Blocked it measured 54 in wide and 27 in deep. I'm sure it will end up being a gift for someone but at this time I don't know who it will be.

Sample Stitch Shawl -- WIP
My sewing room is barely in a usable state at this time as I have packed much of it up in anticipation of redoing the floor, getting new paint, and perhaps new storage. All that is too happen after we finish the remodel of the guest bathroom. So my handwork production may be more knitting than sewing over the next several months. I put the afghan aside to work on this shawl. The pattern is Stitch Sampler Shawl
by On This Day Designs. The yarn is Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio DK, the shade is Lauraville.

Red Lace Shawl -- WIP
This shawl is a work in progress (WIP). It is being knitted using Cascade Yarns Kid Seta Noir. The pattern is A Beginner's Triangle
by Amy Detjen. I didn’t want it to be a triangle but love the pattern of the lace so when
the width got to be approx 18 in I stopped the increases. I am now continuing to knit the shawl at as if a rectangular shawl. When it gets as long I want it to be minus the length of the "increasing width" length at the start I will begin to decrease as the pattern is written.
