My current WIPs were all sidelined last week so I could knit a gift for a very special friend of the family.
Foliage Shawl by MimKnits
Malabrigo Sock in Alcaucil on size 6 needles
I added one repeat to the body before beginning the knit-on border. This knit up very quickly, but I think the border took as long as the body. I'd never done this type of border before but found it rather enjoyable.
I was also please that the lacy pattern produced such a large shawl out of only 1 hank of yarn.
Now returning to my regularly scheduled knitting... and pouring over new patterns.

Hey, how do I become a "friend of the family"??? Gorgeous! I desperately need to get back to knitting!
Gorgeous! I keep running into more stuff I want to knit. Why does my house need to be dug out???
It's beautiful, Tammy! Great job!
In a week?! That's pretty amazing. This shawl is beautiful. I really need to try some lace.
Beautiful - your friend will love it!
looks good!
It's gorgeous!
I look at that beautiful shawl and wonder how you stay focused on a pattern with a house full of boys interrupting you????
And aren't we related because we share the same name?
*wink*
Blessings,
