Thank you for the nice birthday wishes!!  It is always nice to make it to another birthday…

I just finished a lengthy, kind of boring, project: Fading Point by Joji Locatelli.  I have made several of her patterns – she is very talented!  It is drying on the blocking board.

I used Fading Point Kit #12 from Primrose Yarn Co.  It is made up of five colors of their Adelaide Sock Yarn:

Color 1: The Picket Line or The Parade
Color 2: Crime of Passion
Color 3: Just a Girl
Color 4: Squeaky
Color 5: Romance Novel

I had to add an extra section to each half due to my tight gauge 🙁 so used a yarn from my stash to transition (Lost City Knits Merino Fingering in a beige).  I also switched colors 4 & 5 so that Color 4 would be at the center back of the shawl.  The color was such a pretty, speckled pink!!  I placed the beige between Colors 3 and 5.

Sharon F. asked to see the inside of my Farrell Hat, so I must comply!!

PS re: inside of hat: I did not show you the side where all the colors start and stop — definitely not as attractive!!
