Yarn Along

 Washed and Blocked...

I am super happy with the way the 22 Little Clouds Shawlette finished up.
This Shawlette took me 3 months to knit and it could have been done so much quicker,
had I only been able to conquer the ruffle.
I knitted the base part in no time flat.

But oh that ruffle, I almost gave up and then I didn't...I am so glad I stuck with it.

Up next...

The Spring Thing

All of the details are here in my book - 
I will use my grayish yarn as the trim.
The edges look a little funky, but that will be hidden by the trim yarn.
I'm not sure why the edges look so sloppy, 
I am a pretty neat knitter.

I released another butterfly yesterday, 
the hubs said I have 2 more that have emerged overnight that I will release later today!
I loved this image, the sun wash shining through the branches of the azalea bush,
creating such a pretty pattern.

"I did not fail, I just found about 10,000 ways that did not work - and then I found 1 that did"

Have an awesome day!

    How I wish I knew how to knit. I can crochet like a champ but everytime I attempt to knit I don't know what is wrong with me. I am SO uncoordinated when it comes to knitting and it frustrates me because I love knitted pieces come out. Your shawl came out beautifully.. Do raise butterflies? Did you raise that one in the photo? it's beautiful! I love butterflies. They remind me of my mom because she loved butterflies. I've wanted to get some butterfly bushes or plants to attract them just don't know which ones do..

    I love the look of it and you pick the perfect color. Fantastic butterfly photo, how rewarding it must be to send them on their way.

    It's a good thing you persevered with the ruffle as it is the making of your pretty shawl. The ruffle is so pretty. A gorgeous photo of the butterfly! The sunlight dancing is a lovely thing.

    Oh my your shawl looks fantastic, the ruffle is just beautiful, so glad you didn't give up. I think knitting while it is on the needles don't always look good, it's after the blocking it all comes together :)
    The butterfly looks so pretty with your bokeh bush in the background, boy they are coming out fast aren't they!
