I finished Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante. It turned out beautifully! I wore it yesterday and got several nice comments on it. I used Malabrigo Sock. I loved this yarn and already have more for another shawl. I don't know if I'll do this one again or maybe Ishbel by Ysolde.

On other fronts . . . we'll be having Thanksgiving at our home on Thursday so I am busy getting the house ready for all the family and friends who will be attending. I finished painting my bathroom and it turned out very nicely. That's a post for another day. Onward and upward!

Stefanie is blogging weekly at Lionbrand with lots of great tips and hints for making things go smoothly. It is like having the designer sitting next to you helping you with knitting the design. It's great! I'm looking forward to having ...

Traveling

I am almost finished with Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante of Feministy.com. It is a free pattern for a scarf size shawl with a wonderfully pretty but really easy lace pattern. I used Malabrigo Sock for it. I am in LOVE with Malabrigo. It is the most luxurious fiber I have ever used. I can see why so many people love "the Mal". It is going well and I am debating right now whether to add a repeat of one of the lace charts in order to make the overall size a little bigger.
