*ahem*

TA DAAAAAAA!!!!!




Yarn: Knit Picks Merino Style in Maple (6 Skeins)
Pattern: Wool Peddler's Shawl from Folk Shawls
Time: Can you believe this.... 1 WEEK!!!!!! Started it on Monday, finished it Sunday night.

In other news, this past Thursday was, as you may know, the Chinese New Year. And my Thursday night knit night had a little party where you were supposed to bring a Chinese dish. Well... I say ick to Chinese food. So I made this instead...


The symbols mean Friendship, Creativity and Knitting. How neat is that? I was so pleased with how nice it turned out. Yay cake!

Lovely shawl, hun! And the cake looks scrumptious!

And kudos on the Chinese characters, those aren't easy to do... :)

TTYL, sweetie!

Oh My God! You are too cool for words. I LOVE the shawl. I was teased by your scanned photo and am excited to see the final result. And the cake! How awesome is that? Talk about creativity. I hope you saved that piece for yourself.

PS word verification is so trippy, dude

Love it! Oh, can you read symbols in Japanese? I have knitting books written in Japanese I have no hope of ever understanding! Remind me why I thought buying 3 books in Japanese was a good idea?Gorgeous!!!! The shawl is one of my favorites. OH great, Tie One On, Kiri and now Wool Peddler. When will I find time to knit any of these?
