....and Friday means Nachos and Wine night. :-)
(or maybe Salad and Wine night this week)
When you work at home, you don't get out nearly as much as you should, so I always look forward to Friday night. It's the night that I put away my dye frocks, put on some grown up cloths and pull on some boots. Do you not LOVE these boots? They may not be every-ones cup of tea, but this grrl LOVES them!
I had hoped to finish this little shawl last weekend, but those rows got awfully long towards the end, so I plugged away on it during my morning coffee time this week.
It's finished and I really love it. I don't usually plug my yarns too heavily on my blog, but I have to say that I really, really love this new yarn Opal. Amazingly soft with lots of shine and a nice weight. I see a sweater in my near future with this yarn.
I am going to see my favorite models tomorrow as we are going to be wedding dress shopping (yay!), so I will beg one of the girls for a photo shoot. :-)
This weekend I hope to finish up these pretty mitts. Of course they should have been finished ages ago, but I managed to get distracted. It is SO hard not to want to knit all of the lovely things that one sees on Ravelry, isn't it?
Have a great weekend in your corner of the world!!
Oh I love those boots alright!! Love your mitts too. Great yarn. Missed your blog. Haven'tvisited in awhile!

The boots are well, absolutely great. I have never seen a pair like this. Also, the shawl is very very attractive--would you be willing to share which pattern you used. And I love the mitts--same question=pattern used and yarn used. Thank you and hope you enjoyed your weekend since I am writing this early early MOnday morning. susan

ravelry is wonderful but i have to admit that is very distracting. it has greatly expanded my queue while taking away a lot of my knitting time.
gorgeous yarn as always!
