Rite of Passage

I've put all other projects aside to work on Zimmerman's Pi shawl. Life-lines every few rows without exception. I really want to finish this. I know I can do it.

Green Shawl...Almost done!

I'm almost done with this shawl. Would like to finish it to wear to a Bridal shower this weekend. It doesn't look like much while I work on it, but comes out beautiful when fully blocked. It's a soft, green color. 100% wool. This is the 3rd one I've made. Really like the pattern. It's very, very easy.

Weeding Through

I'm slowly weeding through the stash, making things along the way. Trying not to buy anymore yarn. As it is, I returned the yarn I didn't use from my dad's afghan. Also, I've got to try to stop starting new projects -- it just makes more WIPs. Then, I get frustrated.... One thing at a time. One project at a time. Trying go finish the green shawl, which is coming out beautifully. I will then finish up the shell top and see what's next?????

Finished an Afghan

My dad wanted an afghan to keep himself warm. I finished one in record time; about 3 weeks.
It's the size for a twin bed, and hopefully, big enough. Done in Earthtone colors with lots of texture. I normally don't like doing afghans, but this one wasn't too bad.
The border is done in V-stitch and a shell V-stitch.
