Day 9-365: Stop

Took a walk with my mini me this afternoon while she took her own pictures. This is the sign at our corner. I didn't have to bend down to get this shot... it really is just that tall.

Day 8-365: Reward

As a reward for learning her vocabulary words, Miss Mac picked out some goldfish.

FO: Laminaria

Pattern: Laminaria by Elizabeth Freeman

Yarn: 1 skein Stitch Sisterz Lace weight cashmere, 100g ball in the Lime colorway

Needles: US 5 circular needle

Started: November 26, 2010

Finished: January 1, 2011

I loved making this and have even contemplated making another. The yarn is fabulous to work with and even making the largest size shawl I could have added repeats to make this even larger.

The only reason why I didn't was because I was concerned about the need to have at least 1/3 of the yarn in reserve to finish the edge charts and bind off using two strands.



This will most likely be the only shot with me wearing it, as the temps in Chicago are ridiculously cold. Wind chill this morning was around 10 degrees.



You know, if I hadn't ripped back a full chart repeat I would have been done with this before Christmas. A lace shawl in a months time. Yeah, that is crazy, but a good crazy.

Day 7-365: Off The Needles

Laminaria knit up in cashmere lace weight is my newly finished object. Can you all hear the collective *sigh* - yay for cashmere!

Day 6-365: Morning Rush

Crowed platform with the Metra train picking up the morning rush. Love the feeling of motion in this shot.
