Summer is still here!


The summer is still with us - you can bet your life that it will end on Wednesday, when we break up for the holiday.  Anyway, can't really complain.

On the year of projects front, I finished Dragonfly wings last week, and after the improvised blocking technique, it doesn't look too bad.  I'm quite impressed with myself - not perfect but will do.  Finished pictures are here

Now the shawl is finished, I have started the wristwarmers for my sister's in law.  They are actually a little further along than the picture - I have finished one and am about at this point with the second.


I have also for the first time started a second project at the same time!!  I don't know what it is as it is a mystery KAL with a group called one skein on Ravelry.  I have not knitted enough to have any idea what it is!  Quite enjoying the mystery of it at the moment and it is using up a little of my stash.  It is not on my list of course - so will have to add it as an extra.

On a slightly different note, I have started the roses properly for my brother's wedding cake - however, have only got as far as 10 (I need 35) so need to get a move on now!!

    A one skein mystery sounds ideal - not too much investment in case you don't like it and almost instant gratification:)

    Do you mean you're knitting roses for a wedding cake? I would never be able to get "into" a mystery KAL. I need to know what I'm making, what's it's suppose to look like etc. Good luck on all fronts.

    Yay for finishing a shawl!! Who cares about points?? My first shawl didn't turn out that pointy either. Congrats!

    Great purple for the wrist warmers. You are so talented with cake decorating. The roses look authentic.

    I love your shawl--pointy or not! The color will go with anything. I envy your rose making ability-I can barely frost a cupcake!

    Lovely roses! I'm also a teacher, but part-time. I have no idea how you manage to do so much! Enjoy the summer!
