Notes

<del>A basic lace shrug with a lacy border and beads.

<del>Hard part is deciding on what pattern to use for the main body… I want no grafting so it will have to be symmetrical.

The dresses are hand sewn in Spain and are just gorgeous! Her Etsy shop. I still haven’t decided which one to wear for the wedding…

The ring and pendant is from Bali and her shop is here.

The ear cuff is from here.(I have a hard time wearing earrings these days so this is a nice option!)

May 18th

I knit a shrug, tried it on and decided that shrugs are NOT my thing! It was really hard to get in and out of it… probably because of the material because it has no give. FROGGED

Decided that a basic shawl knit on big needles with a nice edging would be more practical. Knit up 2 and frogged 2… can’t seem to get the look that I am after!

One more time… By George, I think I’ve got it! It’s the perfect summer shawl! The yarn just gets softer and silkier each time that it’s been frogged and I can’t wait to wash it up.

One beaded sc row across the top to go and it is done! 24 hours later, I have a gorgeous shawl! :-))

I started at 11am yesterday and I’ll be done by that time today! (I marathoned Dexter!)
