The joy of “layering season”—wearing my new Huaraz Hat (pattern by Kirsten Kapur/Through the Loops) and my Chelsea Girl Shawl (pattern by me, available on Etsy or Ravelry).

Some days—weeks—call for ignoring one’s to-do list.

Aaargh! I was reminded this morning as to why I usually print out patterns … The PDF of this pattern with various notes of mine seems to have disappeared from the cloud (I hadn’t worked on it in almost two years).

Finally I finished (or almost finished ) many of my big and small projects and can afford to enjoy Shetland lace knitting. This is the beginning of my “The Second One” shawl by @apassionforlace ☺️~Lana

I spent a beautiful day in Kensington Market today- and I finally got to show off my #folkeshawl , designed by talented @kiyomibee, and published in newest @amirisushop. The centre split and the soft, chunky yarn @katiayarns make for a very cozy shawl!

New beginnings! The #papillonshawl ( Butterfly shawl) by Marin Melchior is absolutely addictive to knit.
