Julia's Shawl

I'm working on my first real lace project. It's Julia's shawl from Wrapped in Comfort. I'm using Shadow Lace in the Juniper Heather color. It's a lot different than what I'm used to knitting with. It's harder than I thought because I'm a tight knitter. Oh well, it's a new experience for me. I'm enjoying it tremendously. I also just received my first set of Harmony Interchangable Circulars!!! I'm super excited!!! :-)

I'm using stitch markers ever 6 stitches just because I'm so easily distracted. I usually knit while watching TV or I bring it to work to do while I'm taking my lunch break. Yes, I know I should EAT during this time, but I'd prefer to knit! I don't think I'm going to take this, though to work. I believe it's a bit difficult to bring and work on there. Maybe once I feel a bit more comfortable with it, perhaps I'll bring it in.

So far, I'm pleased with my progress. Hopefully it'll continue. I'll post blogs of my progress.

In other news, I picked up my wedding dress last night. OMG, the train is so long!!!!!!! I cannot believe how pretty it is!!!! I can't believe that I'm really getting married. Well, this shawl will be for my flower girl and hopefully I'll have enough time to make one for me too!!!

Knitting and Weddings

So I've completed two whole projects in one full week! Yikes, I might have to start on this full time and make a few bucks doing it. I wish I could be a test knitter. It would give me so much time to do things. Like, I'd be saying, "Ohhhh, I have to get this done, sorry, can't come out!!!!"I have found that I love getting my yarn, needles, and so much more.

I'm stoked to get my Shadow and my Shimmer in the mail today. I'm getting a pack of circulars too. I'm excited to get home, but first....

I'm going to get my wedding dress!!!! I'll post a picture when I try it on so people can (if they want) tell me what they think of the dress. I'm excited to start on the Julia's shawl from the Wrapped in Comfort book. Now I'm ready to get out of work. Arrgggg, still an hour and 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow Devil Hat Is Done

I finished up the snow devil hat last night. I can't believe how quick it went. Well, I did spend my lunch hours and evenings knitting so I really shouldn't be too surprised. I'm happy it's done with. Now it's just hiding at my house so my Future Sis-in-Law doesn't see it. I'm totally stoked about it.
