I knit most of this shawl while Isaac was in the NICU, and we wrapped it around him at his baptism.

It’s Rowan Kid Silk Haze, and the pattern was from the Fall issue of Interweave Knits.

I knit most of this while I was on bedrest in the hospital.

It’s about 40″ square, a variation on the Cable Lace Stole pattern. It’s a wool/silk DK from elann.com, worked on #8 needles.

In addition to the mst3k baby sweater, I recently finished this stole/shawl thing for my friend who is going to give birth really soon.

The yarn is wool/alpaca blend Sierra Aran from elann.com, in color ‘Atlantis’ worked on size 8 needles.

The pattern is the Loose Lattice lace stitch from vol 2 of harmony guide, worked over 83 stitches. Detail:

I have a knitpicks order on the way, and a couple of things on needles, but nothing I can talk about since it’s all gifts.
