Finally finished something

 I've been meaning to try and work on some of my UFO's. Not been doing so good on that, but, I actually have finally have completed something that has been on the needles for goodness knows how long. It is a cowl that I think needs to have more stitches on it, but I didn't know that when I started it. It is called the Rivendell Smoke Ring, and I suppose it is meant to be small. I did like knitting it, but if I ever make it again, I would use more stitches. Anyway, here is a picture of the finished item.

The colour looks way better in person than it does in the picture. It has a luxe thread that doesn't really show up very well. It is going to be warm in this upcoming winter weather, though. So I can be greatful for that.

Boteh Shawl

Here is the shawl that is in 2ply lace, on 4mm needles. I am over half way through the first chart.

 It takes quite a bit of concentration to do this.

Been a long time

 I know, it has been quite a while since I last wrote here.  I just let life get in the way, and forget to record my adventures in knitting. I havae been cutting down on my UFO's, and trying ber hard not to start too any more. I have actually managed to stick to pretty much one project until it is finished. Not all the time, of course, but more than before. Currently I am working on a project that is with 2ply lace on 4mm needles. I had forgotten just how difficult it can be working on such fine yarn, with what feels like broomsticks. The pattern will be nice when it is complete - I hope. I know there is probably nobody reading this, but, I really should try to keep this up for my own record of progress.
