On the needles, and out of the washer

First of all, a huge thank you to all who have commented on my last post, and who have responded to my poll. And if you haven't yet, please do! The poll will be open through the month, and constructive criticism and suggestions are always welcome and encouraged.

I wanted to document some proof that I'm actually crafting these days and not just puttering around on all my new social networking sites ;)



This is a prototype of a shawl I'm working on. This was inspired by the very first few rows of a pattern from the Secret Knitting Podcast. When I accidently saw the photo of the finished project, I decided to take what little I'd started with and see what else I could do with it.




I'm also working on a cotton lace boatneck sweater which is a free pattern from KnitPicks.com.




And finally, fresh out of the washing machine, a load of Tiny and Micro Totes. Once they dry, I'll pull out the "Oopses", then tack buttons on the good ones.

Now I'm off to work on that shawl some more.
