I am still knitting away on the Color Affection shawl - only two rows and the bind off to go. It will still need a little finish work - ends have to be woven in and it will need a little block...
If I get it done before it gets to dark tonight, I may come back with a picture. No promises though. If not, next Friday will be the day of the unveiling.
There are socks to show, though:
I used a nice sport-weight yarn I bought when visiting the Lonesome Stone Alpacas farm in Granbury, Colorado a few years ago. One of the Sock Knitters Anonymous challenges for June was to knit an underappreciated pattern (defined as a pattern from which less than 15 projects had been made). I found Maylin - with only five projects to its credit. I had to do a little math and needle downsizing to get gauge, but it wasn't a big ordeal. I really enjoyed knitting the pattern. Of course, one wouldn't guess that, seeing as it took a month and a half for me to complete the socks...but I was also working on my TLE Second Quarter Challenge cardi, my Mad May Lazy Girl Scarf and Camp Loopy Project 1. Oh...and we can't forget that I do lead a real life of sorts...
MK out.
