Wednesday catch up
I need to catch up on some FO's !
First up my Mara Shawl- done in Cascade 220 superwash. It blocked out to 68" x 28" which turns out to be a great cuddle size for me
Unfortunately, while blocking I found a thread that had been split and was hanging by a hair. I fixed it but it seemed that no matter what I did, it looked botched in that spot. Oh well, I love it anyway and its for me so its ok.
Next I finally finished his Steelers Socks. These were a carry around project for a while that just kept getting set aside. I finished the up just in time for Father's Day.
This is the Slipped Rib pattern that I've used before. The yarn is Lorna's Laces Sport 
I did another weaving project too! I went the next size up on the loom and used some Schaefer Miss Priss in Greenjeans colorway
The finished and lightly fulled shawl is 50" by 22". More like shawlette size. It will be good for under a coat in the winter. After I show it off, it will go in the gift tote.
This took about a week to do, and that was with me only weaving a row or 2 here and there.
Next time I'll leave extra yarn to finish off the edges more- maybe a crocheted border or fringe.

Depending on how it looks, I make make another small blanket. hhm, maybe.
Has anyone started their Christmas knitting?

Oooh, you got some rainbow sock yarn! I'm so jealous (and happy for you, of course. :o)
The shawls are wonderful, I've just been thinking lately that I need a nice, cuddly shawl...
The shawls are beautiful!
Christmas knitting? I don't even want to think about Christmas!
