last call

for robyn's nest may sock club offering. the last day to purchase this lovely kit (which includes a very beautiful design by yours truly ;oP) is may 1st. the kit includes matching stitch markers, yarn from vancarcal sheep farms in an exclusive club color, and FREE postage! she does international too. so, please go see robyn.

i have 4 more rows and the bind-off on my mystic light shawl. almost there. i would have finished this weekend except for having to whip up another pair of fingerless gloves for hubby (yes, the weather was REALLY hot in the bellybutton this weekend but it is spring and still can be chilly in the morning) who had his last pair stolen. (you don't wanna know). i'd post a picture but they are a boring navy blue, knit from joan hamer's wristers pattern with some modifications.

a couple of my on-line friends and i are going to knit the swallowtail shawl (the pattern is free right now. too lazy to link) as a private kal. this will be barbara's first lace shawl. it WILL be fun!
