Completed projects
Here are two recently finished things. On the left is a shawl/capelet called "tie one on" which is a pattern from Knitty. The yarn is Cool Breeze, a sumptuous mohair / synthetic mix in Fiesta's La Bohéme line. I'm grateful to The Village Sheep whose proprietor was extremely pleasant and helpful in getting me the yarn I needed so I could finish in time for my friend's birthday. The bunny pattern is by Kate Gilbert who has some other terrific patterns too (here) and a blog called Needles on Fire.

Why a blue bunny with a red & white scarf? you ask. Well, my friend has a little boy who was born on the 4th of July and I thought it was so neat - George M. Cohan, Grand Old Flag, and all - that I gave myself the assignment of always giving him something red, white and blue for his birthday. Then one of The 2 Cutest Girls in the World was born on the 5th of July last year so now I [have to] do it for two people! I suppose they'll be annoyed by this eventually but it's great fun for now.







The bunny quite came to life once it had eyes and he'd stare me down each morning when I was leaving for work, so I brought him with me all week before he went off to his new home this morning. As you can see, he loved my sunny window (so do I!) and he even tried to fly but I didn't let him.
