My obsession is two-fold. I am obsessed about finding out how to do Swing knitting, and I am obsessed with this pattern, Wingspan! It is fun! Here is my version:
I am using Pagewood Farms Verano yarn. This picture was taken yesterday morning when I had just started the second triangle. I started the third one this morning. I am already planning future wingspans using novelty yarns and sock yarns and contrasting yarns, etc. This is a very addictive pattern!
This past week I finished my Voodoo Magic Shawl, so named for the gorgeous yarn I used to knit it, Voodoo by Creatively Dyed Yarn. It was also a fun knit. I actually started it last fall, but put it aside for a while and recently picked it back up and finished it in about a week.
This picture doesn't really do the beautiful colors of this shawl justice. I have asked my cousin Graham if he can give me some pointers on how to take better pics of my finished projects. He is a very serious amateur photographer.
I usually post pics of my finished knitting projects on facebook. I have been asked many times if I sell my knitted items. People just don't understand when they ask you to knit them something and you say "no." They always say, "Well, I'll pay you!" How do you explain to them that they couldn't possibly afford it! My knitting time is absolutely priceless to me. I don't knit to sell, I knit to destress and relax and unwind. The more stressed I am, the more I knit. (It is much cheaper than a therapist!) How do you put a price on that???
