May's Baltimore Woman Shawls

This has been a busy month. I am so happy that I was able to finish something. I have wanted to use some Malabrigo for a long time. A couple of months ago, I visited Baltimore for a couple of weeks and found some Malabrigo there that I loved!!! Then I saw the Traveling Woman pattern and thought it was kismet!! So I made the Baltimore Woman:







I love this shawl!!!

March Project

Ok, it has been a crazy past 4-6 weeks and I haven't had a moment to just breath.  Anyhoo, I wasn't able to finish Knitting Olympics to my displeasure.  Things have been calming down recently, and I have had a chance to knit something and actually finish!!!

Behold- Lavelette in Cascade 220 (591 yds).

It's huge!!!  It's 90 inches across the top and 50 inches down the center.  I can't wait until it dries and I can wear it to work.  :)

February Project update

It is suppose to get really cold and snow here tomorrow. So I thought I'd knit something quick and warm to have when the snow hits. Just for reference, I live in Mississippi!!!! Anyhoo, I have this Brushed Alpaca yarn which I've had for years and didn't know what to do with it. So I decided to make a cowl in a 4x2 pattern so that I can be finished before my Olympic Knitting began. I didn't quite make it as I am only about 75% of the way through it. I might be able to finish tomorrow. I hope so.

Newbie

Hi! I'm new and this is just the KAL is I've been waiting for to help complete projects.

I've made a goal of completing 10 shawls in 2010 and this will help keep me on target!!!!

I casted on my first shawl of the new year on Jan. 3, 2010. It is the Colonnade by Stephen West in Nashua Creative Focus Chunky in Khaki and Cardovan. I've posted progress pictures below and shawl after the knitting has been finished. I will posted the completed picture next week after I block it this weekend.
