Curious collective shawl finished!!!

I finished this shawl yesterday evening!!!!  So happy to be done!!!!  It was an interesting knit; I will likely wait a long time before I tackle it again.
Enjoy!!!

On a side note, got to Wichita, and realized all I had packed was underwear!!!!  Made a quick trip to Kohl's and got some bargains!!!  OMG, I'm getting old!!  I had the clothes I wanted to take with me hanging up downstairs, and plain old forgot about them!!!

Curious...Part II

I've just gotten to the half-way point!!!  Finished with bobbles, and twist cables.  I am hopeful it will go faster now, even though I'm up to 297 stitches, with two increases each row.  Oh well, keeps me off the streets.

Curious Collective Shawl

This shawl was constructed on Ravelry via people's votes on yarn, shaping, etc.  It is an interesting pattern.
I'm at 30%.  It is a KAL, but I don't remember when we are to be finished.

I'm using Baby Bee yarn in grey and grape.  The pattern called for sock yarn, but can't find solid colors in this town.  I increased my needle size, and actually made the gauge!!!!!  GerryArt, I know you'd be proud of that little fact!!!

Wingspan; and one final picture of "In the Pink"

Love, love, love this pattern!!!!
It took 5 days, but was so much fun to watch the changing colors!!
Ice Yarns:  One skein, plus enough of second skein to knit one row and then bind off.

Since most of you saw this in person, I haven't put my In the Pink shawl on, but now I just have to!!!

Last Peek at In the Pink

One last picture before it is finished!!!  After this photo was taken, I have finished many, MANY more repeats, and now have 15 to go.  I should have it done tomorrow or Friday, and plenty of time to wash and have it ready for Knit Nite!!!

After this, I'm going to do something FAST and EASY!!!!!

Oh my, I must be certifiable!!!  But I do like it!!!!

Verge II and In the Pink Update

I made another Verge for a friend who loves black and white!!!  Love this pattern!!




In the Pink Update:
I have one row of purl, then I start the edging.  There are 438 stitches, and the edging is worked on 5 at a time, so it's going to be a while, but I LOVE this shawl.  Below, I have the triangles finished; that was a bit of a challenge!!

IN THE PINK is in Timeout

I have the left and right wings finished;  I have read and re-read how to put it together, and I am a bit intimidated to start, so I'm pondering right now.  I may have to bring it to Cluckfest for help (hint, hint, Gerry)

Anyway, here are the pieces.  The wings should curl around the center, but the needle won't let me do it properly.

Enjoy and be envious!!!
