I actually started a project that isn't cross stitch! I found this awesome shawl on Ravelry:
See? Pretty!
I pulled some yarns from my stash and well, lets just say that the first go around did not work, at all, not even a little bit.
So I tried again:
Ah! Much better! And even did a little swatch this time to make sure the colors were going to play nice together.
Aubrey looked at the swatch and said "Mom, you made my (littlest pet shop) kitten a blanket! That's so nice of you!" and grabbed it and ran off.
I am very excited to be making this shawl, it has been WAY too long since I have had a desire to knit anything! And, yes, knitting a shawl when it is 95+ degrees and humid outside is probably a little crazy. But at least I will be prepared for fall?
