I started my eight petals rose sweater yesterday night, and here is is all respectable and liberal a feel of calm serene intarsia working up as just as anything:

Of form this effect is a pure fiction and my project looked like this by the end of the knitting last night:

I knit a little longer than [...]

I came home yesterday to a parcel notice and rush to the post office to pluck it up, and my Icelandic yarn had arrived.

I know the power to buy things from where ever I need on the Internet - it makes me smell so cosmopolitan.

Where Shells happily wraps it up!
The final scarf is done.  Knitpicks wool of the andes in a 3×3 rib pattern.  Wool was held double throughout and knit on US10.5 needles.  A quick knit, which is why I saved it for last.

In which Shells feels like she has very small to register for the last 3 years of knitting.
This scarf goes slower than the others.  And I wish it less.  So I can do an astonishing number of avoidance.  I am hoping that the jaw from my mom will allow me with the distraction needed to [...]

Shoes & Swatches

I have ever loved shoes.  My shoe collection is likely not massive by anyone’s standards, but it is carefully chosen - there are few pairs that I don’t care for.  In the winter I run to wear high heeled boots most of the time - they are warm, and that way I can wear heels [...]
