It's hot out there!

Perfect shawl weather, don't you think? Not.

Now that my friend's received her shawl, I can blog more about it. It was finished about a week ago, sent to friend soon after, and she emailed back about how much she *loved* it and the baby sweater. It's the Shetland Triangle, out of Interweave Knits' Wrap Style. I've looked longingly at all the versions out there, and decided I had to make one.

Edited the following. I realized I copied and pasted from what was to have been a previous post. Such an innocent, simple pattern, but boy when you block it the exquisite curves just emerge. Last weekend I: 1) drowned it in warm water and Eucalan; 2) stretched it to its limits on the carpet that is my blocking board; and 3) pinned it down without mercy. He he. And t turned out great. More pictures, soon.

Listening to: The soundtrack to Amélie. I think this may be available on iTunes. Fabulous for setting the mood. Happy Bastille Day to France!
