finito

I'm working on a new lace shawl. It seems I get an urge to start one about once a year. This time it coincided nicely with my cousin needing a shawl for a wedding. It couldn't have been more perfect since I never know what to do with the lace shawl once I finish it. I'll take some work in progress photos soon. It's my first time knitting with beads too.

For now, a polo shirt I finished for Son. It should fit him in a year or so.

Made out of Rowan Cashsoft DK that I got super cheap on ebay. Ebay is a great resource for yarn, just make sure that if you don't smoke neither does the owner of the yarn. I've heard that smoke smell is really hard to get out of yarn. I plan on never finding out.

I used this pattern with collar #2. I did add a stitch to each side of the collar on rows 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 to make more of shaped collar. I like how it turned out and if I ever make another one would do the same thing.
