K’needles update 5

This week, I made a dishcloth (not pictured) and finally finished my Grandma’s shawl. She said it turned out good and thanked me for making it (My grandma is the type to tell things like they are so it can be rare to receive a compliment from her—so yay!). I’m sad to be done with that yarn; it was really fun and comforting to work with because of how soft and light it was. It was interesting to see how it turned out because of how simplistic the pattern is. It’s a rectangle and then you fold it and sew a little bit at the bottom. Very simple and it works well. I will probably make more in the future.

I wasn’t able to update last week because I didn’t have internet connection, but I also didn’t get much knitting done so there wasn’t much to update about anyhow. I had friends come up for a visit from Southern MN and IA. We had a blast. I tried to knit whenever I could, but it’s hard to do so when playing loads of card games.

Last week I got one knitted scrubbie done before they came up. I have to get plenty more done before the craft shows start up again.

I started the sleeved shawl for my Grandma. Here is a current picture of it. I’m using Caron Simply Soft Light in the color Riviera. I really love working with this yarn. Soft and light. It is slow-going and time-consuming though.

Not a lot of knitting got done this week. And it will be even less in the coming weeks. Officially working hard on studying for my comp exams in April.

Cute Baby Shrug – knitted up fast and easy. Will be perfect for spring.  http://library.ravelry.com/theshizknit/5680/confectionenglish.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJNNSUP6J3RN4WZYQ&Expires=1362285196&Signature=bkYng5lX2QZKDbePYCAGIUXoOcs%3D

Finished up the skein of cotton yarn. 9 dish clothes out of one skein.

This is the first I’ve made. It’s a jar opener. Very handy tool I wouldn’t want to be without.
