Woohoo!!

After much consideration and many false starts, and lots of
experimenting with scrap yarn, I am finally 'really' working on my
Wedding Ring shawl, using Cobweb yarn!
AND, it IS triangular, AND it uses the Allover Lace Pattern I really
wanted.
It will be a very slow project, but "I" am worth it, LOL!
Also, the other yarn I ordered arrived today, and it's earmarked for a
lace Moebius. It's an Italian yarn, 2ply, 60% lambswool, 20% alpaca,
and 20% mohair, and it's gorgeous!
Knowing me, on top of the other 4-6 things I usually have going at
once, I probably will not want to wait to get into this yarn!
HAS to be the banana-split DH took me out for the other afternoon, and
the cuppa tea Aaron suggested!
(and quite possibly having the house to myself all day!)
Happy dancing!
Hugs,
Noreen

Congratulations, Noreen. Don't worry about taking a while to knit your
shawl - keep it as a reward for working on something less exciting!

Noreen glad the shawl is working out well and that yarn sound fabulous God
Bless gwen

Exactly, Katherine!
I tend to do that, anyway!
Which is probably why I have 4-6 or more projects going at once.

Thanks, Shelagh! Trial and error persevered!
Funny how I can be SO impatient over some little things, but when it
comes to thread and yarn crafting, I have the patience of Job.

LOL Funny you should mention that. I've been starting and frogging a pair of
socks recently. I want to do toe-up but didn't like most of the cast on
methods. I've decided to do a simple tube sock (to keep from throwing the
whole thing away when it came time for the heel). Still wondering how I'm
going to keep from falling prey to Second Sock Syndrome.

Tonight I told hubby I *think* I finally have a good start, and maybe I'll
actually end up with a pair of socks someday. He reminded me of my "teach
myself to tat" insanity, and how I eventually mastered that. He said, "I know
you, you'll keep at it til you figure it out."

Don'tcha hate it when they're right?

Still stitchin' and smilin'

Woohoo, Noreen! Wonderful! Hope you have lots of fun with it.

Isn't it amazing how a cuppa tea helps? g And that banana split, of course...
(I'll take a hot fudge sundae, LOL.)
