The shalom is done and being blocked. I am hoping to be wearing it today and will get a picture to share with you. I definitely think another one in a different colour will be made sometime soon.
The needles didn't stay empty for long, a milo was cast on for a friend who is expecting her first baby. Since the baby is due in May, and a milo won't really be necessary, I am knitting the 12 month size. It will be perfect for next winter.
I found myself devouring the pages of Kindred this week. It was lovely. I also opened the pages of Sacred Hoops, a book recommended in the 8 Gifts From Nature Course I am taking. So far I am really enjoying it.
What have you been knitting and reading this week?
Joining in with Ginny and Nicole
P.S. Have you entered this giveaway yet? You should!
A great color yarn for a milo sweater and I can't wait to see the shalom sweater. I have been thinking about casting one on myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a great green. Shalom on the blog tomorrow :) I think you should cast it on, it would look great on you.
DeleteI cannot wait to see you in your shalom!!! I bet it's perfect :)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, and yes, perfect!
DeleteOh, I can't wait to see your shalom! I have the yarn to make one for myself, but I need to either lose the weight I put on last year, or adjust the pattern for the size I am now before I can knit it. (I guess we'll see which I get around to doing first!)
ReplyDeleteI love the color of your Milo. I just finished one in light blue for a friend's new baby boy. Such a fun knit, isn't it? xo
I love the milo, it is now my go to knit for new babies. Picture of me in the shalom tomorrow.
DeleteThose baby milos are just so fun to knit! Can't wait to see your finished shalom!
ReplyDeleteThey are, I love them.
DeleteI love the color of the milo and I can't wait to see your shalom!
ReplyDeleteI love that green! You and the milo. How long does it take you start to finish? You must know the pattern by heart now.
ReplyDeleteThanks KC. I know, I love the milo :)
DeleteCan't wait to see your Shalom. I'm sure it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt is, I really love it. Picture on the blog tomorrow :)
DeleteYou are such a speedy knitter. :) I am in no hurry to get there, but look forward to the days that allow for a bit of time with the needles.
ReplyDeleteHa, not really, I just take on small projects :)
