Sugar Maple and The Travelling Woman!


I am finally getting finished with the Sugar Maple Shawl I am making for my oldest daughter Megan. I am making hers in black with a very tiny glimmer of silver thread running through the yarn. Last night I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to pick up all the stitches to make the ruffle on the oblong part I had knitted. I finally figured it out and tonight I should be starting the ruffle! Hopefully it won't take much longer so she can start using it with the cooler mornings and evenings we have been having.

I will then be starting another type shawl called The Travelling Woman. Here is a photo of what it will look like, but I will be making it in another color.


I have a lovely baby alpaca/merino cream yarn or a lighter weight yarn that is the colors of leaves and berries. Such choices I have to make!!

Feeling better today after just resting last night and having soup. I will continue drinking lots and resting! Thanks for everyone that wished me well!

Everyone have a wonderful day!!
