Two FO’s in one post, go me!
Extra yarn arrived, shawl finished. Finally.
It’s still too short for my tastes so I’ll likely never use it. I don’t have time to do it now, but I’ll add the specs here and to Ravelry when I get back from my visit to Small Town.
I tried and tried to knit the baby sweater out of scraps. If you counted all the swatches I made you could say I’ve knit this little thing twice. Especially considering that when I got to the second side, I realized that I left out a repeat on the first side. Or so I thought, now I’m not so sure. Being as I haven’t actually ripped that one out yet, I’ll go back and verify if I did or didn’t leave out a repeat. But, because I had to order more KnitPicks, I also ordered some yarn to make the little sweater in a solid color. It only took a couple of days and I finished it before I tackled the bind off on the shawl.
The ties aren’t on it yet. I’m taking it with me to Small Town tomorrow to see if daughter wants a loop and button, or the ties that are in the pattern. I do plan to make this again, only I’ll use the multiple colors.
I need your help. Tell me which picture best shows the shawl on your monitor. On one computer, one looks better. On the laptop, the other one looks better.

The top picture looks better on my li’l bebe laptop.
Wish you were here and we were going to SAFF again this year…

Top picture here, too. Love the baby cardi. I think the ruffle on the shawl would have done me in!!

Both FOs are wonderful. Really like the shawl though.
