But what better way to revive the craftyness than by checking out the Zombie-ness of my fellow handicrafters!? (Heh, heh… Revive. Zombies. Heh, heh.)
Anyway – check this stuff out! And visit the home sites too… just click on the pic!

While I was at Knitwitts picking up the 2nd ball of yarn for the Pasa Doble shawl I checked out the 40% off wall and after much drooling I bought 4 balls of yarn for projects I had been thinking about for awhile. (And apparently doing projects in 2’s is becoming a trend). Both patterns come from the book ‘The Pattern Companion Knitting’ that I got from Kroger last year for a buck or two. Pretty good selection of patterns overall.

This lovely ball of yarn is called Etoile from Cascade Yarns in color # 21 and it is going to become a Lacy Scarf. The yarn is 70% Kid Mohair and 30 % Acrylic.

Sorry no update on Friday the 12th – I ran out of yarn for the shawl and hadn’t worked on it this past week at all. So Saturday we took a trip to E’ville to Knitwitts and I bought more yarn than I went to get (of course)!
I’m up to 24″ on the shawl now – only a foot left to go… and wow it dosen’t seem like it went by that fast! That jump from 18″ to 24″ was super quick.

Finished the back of the Vest Kimono – 24″ – Yay! And halfway through the shawl – 17.5″! ‘Course there would have been more progress on the shaw but I spent half the week screwing up one pass, then I ignored for 2 days while I debated throwing a crying tantrum in the floor… and then I fixed it. So kudos for me for not throwing in the towel… or the tantrum

So I’ve been knitting away – sorry no update on Wednesday; I had crafty-brain-melt or something and could not figure out what to post about.
I’m up to 17″ on the vest back and 13″ on the shawl. I’ve also gotten faster on the Shawl – it now only takes me 3 hours per section (cable cross to cable cross) instead of 4. Whew! I’ll take what I can get! The first progress report can be seen here.
