Summer Stripes – finished

I changed my mind. I'm not going to sell this one. Dear Daughter S in Umeå got all amazed, so this shawl will find its way up the country to help her cope with the rest of the winter.

Dear daughter A (to the right) and dear niece E (to the left) spent some time crocheting Valentine's Day's hearts today.

Some progress made on the Summer Stripes. It looks small, but blocked it will be bigger.

I'm also thinking of adding a flimsy flounce at the bottom. But I don't know... Wouldn't that take some of the character away from it? What do you think?

Out of season?

While the girls were working on their crocheted hearts, Valentine's Day as it is, I instead made an eyeball.
Is this the start of my own anatomy crochet line of design? I don't think so, but it was fun. It was. Really!

Summer Stripes shawl

Summer Stripes shawl Originally uploaded by Maia Andréasson

I organized my stash yesterday and found out that there was some nice wool to make a summer shawl, reminding a little of the Fisherman's sweater that Pippi Långstrump (Pippi Longstocking) had.

I just had to get started, so now I have three shawls in progress.

One is crocheted, so that project I have to keep my eyes on while working, the other one, the IceCream Sampler, is lace. Eyes down there too. This one on the other hand is stockinette all over. I could work it while taking a walk. Sometimes you need that kind of easy going projects.
