Ok…so I’m not playing nice this morning. But the cupcake was good! If you’ll recall, I made a batch of them yesterday. Chicky teaches a group of middle school girls at church on Wednesday afternoons, and one of her pupils is moving next week. She wanted to give her a proper send-off. I fit all but two in a couple of rubbermaid containers. I ate one and phtographed the other.
In knitting news, take a look at this:
It’s my Swallowtail Lace Scarf. I still need to block it, but it felt soooooo good to get it off my needles yesterday! It currently measures 32″ across the top. I’m going to run out and get more T-pins and a spongy play mat to block it on. I cannot wait to see how it turns out!
With that project almost complete, I jumped right into another one…the Mexican Rainbow Shawl I told you about before. Here’s what I have so far:
That’s the beginnings of the center rectangle. The pattern calls for a garter stitch, but the picture in the book looks like it’s another stitch. I guessed at the Trinity Stitch and have, thus, already “customized” this shawl. Although the stitch is not a lot of fun to execute, I think it looks divine! The shawl will be traveling with me as we drive to south Florida for Chicky’s big games this weekend.

Great job on the Swallowtail shawl. I can’t wait to see it blocked.
The cupcake looks yummy!
Oh my… your Swallowtail shawl is GORGEOUS!!!!
And I cant wait to see your Rainbow shawl… that looks like that’s a big project!!!
Wow. Both shawls are pretty, but there’s something so graceful about the swallowtail. It’ll be fun to see the Rainbow one finished. Have a safe trip.
