Real quick

I have finished knits to show on the fly. First, the Casino Shawl. This is a late Mother’s Day gift to Moms, but late is better than never where handknits are concerned. Especially cashmere handknits. This took around 1000 yards of Jade Sapphire 2-ply Mongolian Cashmere. The pattern is a little ticky but I got it done and am happy with the result. I wanted this shawl to have a heavier feel for chilly nights on the deck and things – I don’t really see it as a shawl to wear “out”.
I had folded it before the photos so forgive the creases. That’s Sis posing for me. I blocked that sucker at night and it’s hard hard hard to do right with blocking wires and brown yarn so the points are a little wonky, but whatev. It’s done. FINALLY!
Next I finished the Meheeco Socks, just like, 2 minutes ago. You get pics and I gotta get my ass off to packing. I am getting pretty nervous about this whole thing, truth be told, but I am definitely in. Cross your fingers that something doesn’t eat me.

Thank you Anne for the words. That shawl was well received.
