A finished object! Yes, I’ve finally finished something. I’ve been very busy in my non-knitting life (with another as yet unfinished project) and it has greatly affected the time I have to knit. But I just finished one of Carol Sunday’s lovely patterns, her Eve’s Ribs shrug. I used Carol’s Nirvana yarn in charcoal. Nirvana’s name is justified. It’s a luscious blend of 92% cashmere and 8% merino. It is wonderful to knit with and it blocked beautifully. I love this yarn, and I’m eyeing Carol’s new Mia Francesca pattern and contemplating knitting it out of Nirvana in the moss color way. It would be gorgeous.
But below is a rare photo of me actually modeling something. Lucy, my mannequin, just wasn’t up to the task (sometimes, the lack of arms is an issue).
It’s gorgeous! I love her patterns!

It is so good to see your face, now we will know what you look like when you come to camp in July with your sis! Looks good on you.

Gorgeous! You and the shrug. I usually don’t like shrugs at all, but that one is lovely. Carol Sunday is terrific..

Really pretty – you and the sweater. Thank you for modelling it for us! I have a sweater of Nirvana – and I really like it. Besides being pretty, it’s very comfortable to wear.
