2014 Finished Objects Review

100% Alpaca lace weight yarn from Aslan Trends.  It was a full circle lace fichu and it recently SOLD.

Made from Cotton/Cashmiere combo from Louisa Harding, I started this as my Easter shawl for 2013, but gave it away as a birthday gift. GONE.

This shoulder capelet is made from one skien of Lion Brand Homespun; I was experimenting with cables.  The first time I showed this, it SOLD.

2014 Finished Object Review

This was an XL Half Round lace shawl I made for me, for Easter.  It's from the Caron yarn that is merino wool combined with microfiber... Spa or Country and I can never remember which is which.  However, I didn't like the way it fit me, so I SOLD it.

This is a 3/4 Round cape made in Garter Stitch and short rows.  Done in a Red Heart Acrylic, it is XL, heavy and very warm.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.

Another experiment with garter stitch short rows, this includes ties to make a Cross Over for historical outfits... if you don't mind the Red Heart Acrylic yarn.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.

2014 Finished Objects Review continues

A Faroese style shawl done in Stockinette stich with Paton Alpaca blend.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.


I truly do hate Garter stitch for anything more than accent rows, but I had to at least try one piece using it.  This is more of the Patons Alpaca Blend, done in a more than half round shawl.  This is stil AVAILABLE for purchase.

This is an old 'heathers' color of Red Heart acrylic.  The shawl itself is a complete circle, so it will qualify as an XL shawl.  It is still AVAILABLE for purchase.
