Another Snow Day Spent Knitting

On Friday here in New Jersey, we had about six inches of snow dumped on us. I spent half the day doing work (yuck!) right from my home and the other half knitting away safe and warm inside watching the flakes come down.

I've been working on knitting the Entrelac Shawl shown below. I've got it to about 60 inches with another 10" or so to go! Whew! So far I've used 10 skeins of Noro Silk Garden. And, yeah, I need to pick the pieces of grass out of it now and then, but it's the only yarn out there that stripes so beautifully. I've learned that if you soak Noro in Yucalin wash, it will soften up and the colors actually become more beautiful. I can't wait to try it!

I also purchased some Noro Kureyon to begin to make this Lizard Ridge afghan - click here for pattern. I can't wait to finish the shawl so that I can get started. Oh, but I forgot! I have two projects in front of this one - gifts! Yikes! I NEED MORE KNITTING TIME!
