Progress is being made!

A couple weeks ago I posted the Ocean Spray shawl I was working on.  I had just finished row 58 on it.  Today, I finished row 101 so I thought I would post another progress report.  I didn't post a progress report between rows 58 and 101 because all of the work between those two points is exactly the same, knitting with 4 yarn overs and then purling on the backside.

So here is what I have so far.


It doesn't look a lot different, just bigger.  You might have noticed that it looks like I don't have any life lines in the shawl.  I do have a life line, you just can't see it well because it is right in the row that is on the cable of my needle.  I had several life lines as I was working on this section.  Now that I have completed section one and have all of the stitches I am suppose to have I decided to get rid of the extra life lines because the ends were tangling with each other and my working yarn.  I also took out the stitch marker I had been using to mark the right and wrong sides of the work.  At this point it is now obvious which is which and I didn't want to risk snagging the marker and tearing the shawl.

Now I move on to section 2 of the pattern.  I am looking forward to this section, I hope it will be more interesting than the previous section.

Stay tuned for more!

Rolling out some new colors

Things have been pretty busy around here, between filling orders, teaching, and working on getting my dye shop renovated I've been a bit behind in getting the new color ways I've been working on added to my site.  However, I am pleased to announce that I am adding FOUR new colors to my website today.

So, in no particular order, here they are.

Purple, purple and more purple - Here is Jazmin!



Not to be outdone, here is Eowyn strutting her stuff in purple and pink!



Next, what could be more perfect for summer than a big piece of Rhubarb Pie!



And last, but not least, in one of the new hot colors for the season, Tiger Lily!



Come see them all at T&H Fiber Works today!
