Almost two weeks without a post. I'm a bad blogger. But I have an excuse. I have been using every spare moment to knit. Knitting is better than blogging, right? I started the Convertible shawl/shrug last Tuesday. I swatched before getting on the train at 6am to go to the gym. And it hasn't left my hands since. It was finished Wed. afternoon. Well, finished minus the buttons. I have to go buy them and then make them. That will take me til the wedding at the end of the month. Wanna see it? It's a fuzzy picture, but you get the idea.
And this is the close up of the pattern:
Next up, the Over the Knee socks from Holiday Handknits. I'm using Rowan Cashsoft DK. They're for my best friend. I've already gotten 2 of the lace pattern repeats done, and there are 15 in total before doing the heel.
A closer look at the ribbing:
I'm also going to do another Roxy bag, for the little one's teacher. I'll have more pics later this week. Maybe I'll post the cupcakes I made for a batchelorette party....

Bachelorette cupcakes? Oh, that's got to be good... heh heh. The shawl/shrug looks gorgeous!
Get on the train at 6am to go to the gym? ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGH
The shawl is beautiful :)
Pretty patterns. Over the Knee Socks? Wow, one of my sock bags couldn't hold all of THAT! It would have to go into a spindle bag. That's one tall sock.
Convertible looks awesome! So pretty in the neutral color, and even if you didn't attach the buttons, it would be a great accessory. What yarn did you use?
I love the lace pattern in Convertible--excellent lace knitting there!
Beautiful Convertible!
Now my curiosity is piqued--I want to see these cupcakes!
I want to knot convertible, yours looks lovely! Any estimate on the yardage used? I bought some bamboo for it, but only 3 skeins (can't recall off the top of my head the yardage) were available when I got it. Oh I hope I have enough.
The shawl is lovely!
You're nuts! And way too productive. Just wait until you get a wheel. ;)
Martha Stewart needs your energy :)
Tell ya what, you send me that Convertible and I'll send you the Monkee-Cozy.
Just kidding. You know it's coming to you/ Love, Ali
Wait. You mean started one day, finished the next? OMG that's nutto. But it's done, and it's pretty!! Can't wait to sit it buttoned.
The socks are groovy-looking. The ribbing makes me cry :) I should be ashamed of myself; I haven't finished my FIRST Roxy...
Awesome lace and gorgeous socks! Is that ribbing something with twisted stitches that make tiny cables?
