Another Shawl, another pair of socks

Here's yet another shawl I finally got around to blocking. I made it the first 18 days in March. Stephen West's "Daybreak." It's part of the 10 Shawls in 2010, I call it "Red Dawn" yes, sailors, take warning.

I have been shopping for quilting materials and here's Marge's wall of fat quarters at Creative Needle. My hubby purchased me a sweet Elna 6005 Heirloom Quilter last October from Marge. I have been piecing quilts. I am fascinated with Kaffe Fasset's new line of cottons for quilting. I got me some visiting Knitty Cat. There are some more of Kaffe's designs for quilting over at one of my fav quilt stores, Holly Cabin Quilts.

Oh, yeah, the socks. I haven't made many since the summer I made 13 pair. I decided I needed a pair made with Noro Silk Garden, I love them with my Birk's. Very cozy they are.

Some more shawls for 10 in 2010

Another Forest Canopy in Gray Paton's Classic Wool , Haruni Shawl in Waucania by Gypsy Wools and Luna Moth in Brook's Farm Mas Acero. Three more. Now if I had remembered my camera when I went to Illinois, I would have the other two I worked on when the new year began(two more of Forest Canopy, can you tell I love this pattern?) But, wait, I could block and take a pic of my Daybreak I made out of seven skeins of Colinette Jitterbug, now I am savin' the best for last. Tommorrow.

5 of 10 Shawls in 2010

Me and my friend Jeannie, I made her's out of Icelandic laceweight the pattern Forest Canopy again. Mine is Icarus, out of Interlacements Silk Mohair laceweight Dyer's Choice.
