Estelle's Irish Diamond Shawl

I have been working on this shawl for my Husband's Grandmother. It is the Irish Diamond Shawl pattern. It is forgiving, interesting and fun.I am more than half way there now.

Irish Diamond Shawl

I have started a shawl for my husbands Grandmother. She is 90 years old and other than a tab forgetful, she is going strong.

The pattern I am using is from Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle, Irish Diamond Shawl. I am using white Nuna by Marisol....a dream to knit with.

recently I Learned what S1 2tog kwise meant in this pattern, YAY to wise knitters on Ravelry to aid me, once again!

July progress has me steaming along on Chickadee, by Ysolda Teague and having put Purple Reign on the back burner, swatching for Purple Reign is still ongoing. I just have not found the right yarn for this project and with so much other items to work on, I just put it off for now.

coral rose update

well, coral rose became the brown strip sweater....lol

I just made those roses 4 times and i was not satisfied with how it came out or the colors, so it became a brome and green strip sweater.

I got really daunted and annoyed and it went untouched until i got over all that negativity.

now, I am a few inches from starting the shoulder shaping.

it is not the pattern at all as far as there is no intarsia in the entire sweater.

so when done with the sleeves i can block all the pieces and sew the shoulders, so i can move on to the collar.
