I started this blog a long time a go to help me control my "Yarn ADD obsessions"....well maybe not control them but at least keep track of them!
Wow I just looked at the date of my last post OMG!!!
Summer accomplishment!! I participated in my first KAL. It's the Summer Solstice Mystery Shawl from wendyknits.net. This is my first real lace shawl too. It needs 15 stitch markers if you are going to use them. And yes I sooo need to use stitch markers. I can't just use plan boring stitch markers....no... I have to make some. Here are my stitch markers ...
Now before I began I actually did a swatch (something I'm not very good about doing).
Now the instructions are for you to create nupps (never heard of these before) or beads. I decided on going with the nupps because I thought my yarn would look good with nupps. They are used in patterns to add texture to your pattern. Mine came out okay but I saw a lot of people create ones much better than mine.
