Shawl knitting continued into well September this year. Having seen sister's shawl and a half, Baby needed one as well. (It should be noted that Baby is not a baby, but an almost 4 year old with a killer vocabulary and a temper to match, but I digress. She's my littlest, and shall always be Baby.)
Some yellow Lucy Neatby Celestial Merino came from my mom's stash, and was tossed to me in disgust in the form of a single, ill-fitting sock and a matching second ball. I've known that feeling, when a project goes south, and you want nothing more to do with the yarn. Ever. I made quick work of it, working the shawl and a half shape with Evelyn Clark's Shetland Triangle pattern. Baby is quite thrilled with it.
And another Evelyn design, this one for a grownup. It's the Sand Dollar shawl from the book "Knitting Lace Triangles", worked in a single skein of Blue Moon Fiber Arts Seduction. I love the sheen and strength from the Tencel in it.
I'm ever so grateful to Evelyn Clark, for teaching me to put holes in my knitting!
Those little shawls are precious. Must have a lot to do with the models.

aw, what a cutie patootie that Baby is in her shawl.
Love the matchy-matchy dresses too.
