Three Shawls Knit Over the Summer

Three?  Did I need THREE shawls, the husband asked.  Well, yes, I did.  Started August 2, 2012 and completed August 27, 2012 in 100% cotton:

close up of the lace:

It blocked out at 86 inches at the widest point by 36 inches in length.  It is Wendy D. Johnson's Seriously Simple Shawl and is a free pattern found here on Ravelry.


Then on to another shawl I knit in June, July and finished on August 1, 2012, the Different Lines Shawl by Veera Välimäki:

And lastly, the WINGSPAN:

This pattern has been worked up 4,280 times at the writing. I knit it from June 27 to July 23, 2012.
This pattern is by maylin Tri'Coterie Designs; it is a free pattern and can be found here.

Just documenting some summer knitting; waiting for cooler weather to wear this neckware.

PPF and a Bee Sting

Participating in PPF, still the same canvas, still using oils, but not much work being done with it

because some ground bee bit my left hand two days ago leaving it swollen, red, itchy and uncomfortable.  Damn bee.

right hand not bitten:

See? Poor, pitiful me.

Benadryl in my body and salve on my hand, I'll be checking out others artwork on PaintPartyFriday.
