I think I was just attacked by my Secret Pal from the SP9. She’s a smart one too. Left a comment on my questionnaire… (eta: I moved the SP9 questionnaire, so I’m sorry, but comments were deleted. Thanks for understanding!) I clicked on her name… the link she left? "imnottellin.com" I about fell out of my chair laughing. I bet she knew I’d be trying to check that out to see if there was a real link or not! Score 1 for the SP!

I also need to tell all y’all something. 

I am VERY VERY VERY pleased to present my very first knitted lace. This is also my first shawl. She’s drying as you read this.

Swallowtail Shawl

Too close! Too close!

Pattern: Swallowtail Shawl from Interweave Knits

Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in Baltic Sea (a little over a ball and a half.)

Needles: KP Options #5 tips with a 32" cable

Start: Sept 16, 2006      Finish: Oct 5, 2006

Notes: None.

I would love to sit down and figure out how to rewrite it so that I can make it bigger. I like how quickly it knit up for me though. I really like the pattern and the only obvious mistake is a hole where there should be none in the edging. This is not a yarn over, but a result of extra yarn in there from a mistake yarn over that I made and then dropped and tried to shift the yarn about to close the hole up. Didn’t work. Luckily its not a hole that will do any damage.

Oh. And one last thing, the Bug informed me that he’s no longer going to tolerate the baths I give him in the tub once a month.

Interesting choice...

Apparently he would MUCH prefer the dishwasher.
