F.Y.I

If you’ve been wanting a set of Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles, KnitPicks has them on sale for $25 a set, here.  If I had the money I would order a second set.  I cannot say how much I love these needles.  I don’t think they’ll last long at that price, so if you’re going to order I would do it soon.

Blocking Icarus

Icarus Before Blocking

Icarus Blocking

Yarn Bits

I finished binding off Icarus last night and decided to go ahead and block it today instead of waiting until Monday.  The bottom picture is how much yarn I had left.  I came really close to not having enough to finish.  In fact, I skipped the last two rows of the last chart, just to save yarn. 

I’m so thrilled with this shawl.  I’ve made tons of them, but up until now I haven’t made one I wear and I think I might wear this one.  I’ll have post-blocking pictures Monday.

Have a good weekend!
