Finally, an update!

Okay, so after over a week of looking for it, I FINALLY found my cable for my camera and uploaded pictures. They're not the best, but they're something. The shawls are underway. I started the Daybreak almost six months ago and it would have been done faster except that I am a lazy knitter and those tiny stitches take hours. In about an hour and a half of knitting, I only got two rows done.

Then there's the second round of Boneyard that I'm working on. The purple and orange were the first take, and this new one is striped. I've used the wool/flax yarn I was bitching about on CKW group, and it's coming out BEAUTIFULLY! I LOVE IT!

I contrasted it with Malabrigo Solymar, which adds quite a bit of nice, rich, dark color to this gray yarn and the texture between the two is great. I put it on hold, however, so I can finish the Daybreak shawl, which I will gift to my mother for her upcoming birthday (September 30). I've got two more skeins of Malabrigo sock yarn to knit up another one, which will also take me like...a year to knit, but the new Boneyard (the gray and striped one), I think I'll keep!
