Progress of sorts

So as many people know, Jenny from TVSnB talked me into starting my very first lace project. And not only is it a lace project, but it is also the Mystery Stole Knit-a-long. It has actually helped to not make it so scarey as you only get the pattern a little bit at a time... I am very much behind many of the other knitters, but I am ok with this. It is not a race.. so here are a couple of pics of the progress so far. What is shown is all of clue one and a bit of clue two!



Today was Rus' counsin's baby shower.. Not only did I make the blanket that is shown in the previous post, but I also made a diaper cake for her! 180 diapers!! This is the biggest cake that I have made with 6 teirs in it. I am happy with how it came out. I really enjoy making these for people, I just wish that they were more ecomnomical to make. I also made two hats and two sets of booties besides getting a bunch of onsies and other baby stuff. There is only on green and blue bootie because i have run out of the cotton and I am having a lot of trouble finding more of it...


Well that is what I has been completed.
As for what I am working on.... I still am working on the varigated green shurg. It is taking along time due to it being knit from cuff to cuff. I also have a blanket and a prayer shawl on the needles!

Love the variegated yarn. The colors are beautiful and the fact that it's variegated doesn't distract from the lace pattern at all. You're doing beautiful work!

I might have some of that blue/green yarn in my stash (Peaches & Creme I think) if you are still looking for it. I would hate for the bootie to be single forever! :)
