Yesterday, I picked up a shawl I started.......ok, wait for this now.......July 4th. 2017!
It use to be a free pattern on Ravelry Now it's a few bucks so looking for the pattern was necessary. I finally found it (the last 2 pages of it) and picked up where I left off in the mesh lace. Then about 16 rows down I obviously dropped several stitches in one place. Trying to mend lace was not successful so I frogged about 16 rows. I found a rest row (knitting all stitches) and picked up with a smaller needle finally. The yarn is Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine and is 40% alpaca. Its a beautiful, soft red.
After knitting a pair of socks, switching to size 9 US needles with worsted weight was very different.
I frogged almost back to the point where I picked it up. I may have shown this on the blog in the distant past as I started it a long time ago but here's a few pics from then. The true color is in the last 2 pics.

Mystitchmarkers match the yarn :)
I'm on the second skein now.
It's really a basic triangular shawl.
591 yards of cushiony, soft goodness.
The label has suggestion to use size 7 needles and I started it out like this but my tension must be tight because I ended up switching to a size 9 into the mesh lace portion.
And now.
Definitely will need some good blocking.
And my latest thrift store find!
A wood bowl and some old spools.
just because.........
I have a little soft spot for old sewing notions
and wood bowls........
And I'm getting the bug on this very rainy day to do some thrifting again. It just makes a dreary day brighter.
Have a great day!
