The Amazing Lace - Challenge #2
This is as X-treme as my lace knitting gets...
languishing in my dad's garden waiting for the cutlets to be done on the grill. And this is x-treme for me cos I'm outside... EATING outside where there's bugs and things :) As I always say "I LOVE nature... as long as there's a nice piece of glass between me and Nature" hahaha. I love to be outside, but it is the bugs I can't deal with.
What you see hanging over the side of my chair is my Seraphim Shawl, being done with 2 strands of Zephyr, one in the color Ladyslipper and one in the color Dianthus. Although I dislike variagated yarns for lace, this somehow works!!! And the result is a soft and thick shawl. I'm using 4,5 mm needles. Oh and the shawl's big LOL, don't think I'll have to block it a lot.
Side view...
View from the opposite side... No the beer isn't mine... I'm drinking the sparkly H2O :)
So I've decided that I should get a nomination for the most X-tremely boooooooooring post hahaha.
And as a reward for reading this you get a picture of a gorgeous pink geranium flower
Cheers Eva

I don't know, extremely relaxing should count for something, right?!

Thank you for the Geranium. I can't wait to see your shawl once it is finished. The colour is lovely. I hope to have enough courage to knit a shawl one day. Perhaps the Mimosa shawl from Big Girl Knits.

Wow, the pink geranium and the shawl couldn't be any more color coordinated! Hope the bugs left you alone for your meal. :)
