Faroese ala Meg Swansen

This is the finished faroese sampler from Meg's new lace DVD, Kniting Lace with Meg Swansen.
It's a fun and easy knit. There are a variety of places to find this pattern. One of which is in the Oberle's Folk Shawls book and A Gathering of Lace by Meg Swansen. The back is knitted to fit rounded over the shoulders so it doesn't slip off. The front ends are wing shaped and the larger versions will wrap around at the waist and tie in back.

This is a back view. You can see the simple lacework here. This color reminded me of my Gramie. She loved this color. I want to make one of these shawls for each of her granddaughters. We're all old enough to enjoy a warm shoulder warmer on a cold night :).

We must give credit here to Dale for the lovely first Sunflower's of our season.

Blocking the Qiviut Scarf

This is the scarf blocked to 16 x 40. It was 1, one oz. skein of the LARS qiviut. You can see the left fringe pattern is a few rows short :) I reblocked this today, because I felt that it should have been longer. I pulled it out to another 5". It drapes a alot better and looks great on. I must however advise against doing a slip the first stitch on a scarf because it doesn't have the give that knitting the first stitch does.

Skeleton Scarf

....but it's still lovely nonetheless. And sooo soft. I would definitely say this fiber is worth the money. Not only to work with but the final product is soft and warm beyond compare.
This pattern is from Arctic Lace by Druchunas.

The Best Fun

The bestest ever. At 4 years old she sat down next to me and picked up a rollag and started air treadling with her little foot. She's five now and has spun her first rollag into a single. She wants me to teach her how to knit it into something, hehe. Maybe it's time to learn to crochet a chain stitch? :)

MizGita;s First Shawl

Ran into pics of the first shalw I knitted for Seragita. It was an easy knit. You just did some increases and enlarged the needle for the different rounds.
