A lovely day to sort wool
Today is again a beautiful day and I am sorting wool before we go on our way to a basketbalgame from our youngest. The washing is going very slow because I forgot to feed our heater!! Silly me and now I have to wait for warm water and my baskets are already full and waiting.

shawls
After a disastrous attempt to knit the fichu I came up with a solution.
I decided to just knit a triangle shawl and then count the stitches I needed to apply the fichu border.
There after it took my I day or two to figure out how to begin so that the border would come at the right side and in the end I mastered the puzzle! I do not no exactly what kind of wool I used, because it was in a stash that I got from my grandmother.
The last border with the leafs took like forever. So in between I knitted another multnomah exactly after the one I allready knitted and sold. It is the perfect color to match a pair of jeans.
The project before the fake fichu I knitted a shawl by the name of Cladonia.
I have not blocked them yet and I hope to do that this week.
The project I took on today is a Gail Nightsong and now in a beautiful green alpacka.
Pictures will follow.
