You must be wondering what I knit this Vacation. I have to say I was surprised at how much I accomplished. Although we were super busy during the vacation I managed to find little knitting moments here and there.
I started this project a week before leaving and finished the Citron Shawl just in time for Mother’s day! I used one Schoppel Wolle Zauberball in Blackberry. It was not quite enough to finish the ruffle on the edge but I think ½ a ruffle is just as good!
This shawl is the perfect spring/summer size. It is small and keeps the chill off during cooler evenings and air-conditioning! It was a simple pattern and an enjoyable knit!
On the flight to Boston I knit the cutest toy; Fuzzy Lamb. It took me the whole 3 hour flight to knit everything and about an hour to finish: embroider the little face, stuff and sew up. A less intricate toy than Harriet Rabbit and completely satisfying!
Along with working on my cherry blossom sweater from Vogue knitting (posted earlier) I also finished the Baby Beanie from Tilli Tomas. I made the smallest size and it took one skein of the Tilli Tomas Flurries 100% Australian Merino with Glass Beads (70yds). Once knit, I pushed all the beads to the outside leaving the inside soft! This Baby Beanie is perfect for a special gift.
