SWIRL SHAWL COMPLETED


I have completed the Swirl Shawl from Jojoland.
The pattern can be found at http://www.jojoland.com/.

I had started this for the Knit Olympics and fell short of finishing it by the closing ceremonies. Then hubby suggested that I finish it for the fair. I pulled her out last week or so and started working on her. I cast off the last swirl and wove in my last end last night. Today I washed and blocked it and have to say that I am very pleased with how she turned out.





The pattern say it should be 68" x 20". Well mine came out 65" x 21". I wish I had taken a before blocking picture, you would not believe the difference in the size. The swirls pop much better blocked. Wish her luck she will be headed to the fair in a couple weeks.

Ms. Thing







I just made a chicken!!!! Ok, so I knit her up.
This is an Alan Dart pattern, I used odd and ends for the yarn.
She was a lot of fun to make. She will be going to my Mom after she makes her appearance at our county fair.
