Knitting: Blue Boxy

Last year at this time I bought myself the yarn to make a sweater. A little birthday gift to myself if you will. Last week after 10 months of working on said sweater, it is finally complete. This is only my second sweater I have ever made and it's very obvious that I am still learning the ropes. In the end, I feel since I'm the one wearing it, the mistakes don't matter. The yarn couldn't be any softer and the color is simply stunning. Now I just have to wait for this Vegas heat to cool down to really be able to enjoy it.

In the beginning...

Completed and drying

The pattern is called Boxy by Joji Locatelli and I created from Cephalopod Yarn's Skinny Bugga in Fluorescent Millipede.

Elinya Shawl Pattern Completed

I've been incredibly sick this last week and haven't been able to stay awake for very long. Knitting in bed between naps and covered in cats has been the routine recently. I was able to complete the shawl yesterday and had to brag. I absolutely love it. I ran out of yarn for the picot bind off, but still delighted in how it turned out. The shawl has been wrapped around me ever since completion! It is so warm and comfy. The weather here has cooled off again so I have been able to enjoy wearing my new shawl. Thanks for letting me share.
