Swirl Shawl in mid-blockIn preparation for Stitch and Pitch last month, I started a cotton camisole so I would have a small item to work on instead of the above unwieldy shawl. Kelie has some photos of our group at the game in her post here.
Victoria Tank from Interweave Knits Summer 2004In a fit of A.D.D. and to give my wrists a break from knitting cotton, I also started a small shawl/scarf (sharf? scawl?) yesterday. I highly recommend Malabrigo Sock yarn - it's so soft and squishy and a joy to knit. The pattern is Springtime Bandit but I'm changing it so it's mostly stockinette, inspired by two other modified projects I saw on Ravelry, also here and here.

Love that swirl shawl, its going to be really beautiful!
I love your projects! I'm glad you're over your cold and feeling better. Wish you were here...I'm going to Sock Summit today!
I'm so impressed with all of your knitting projects. I thought of you a couple of weeks ago when Portland hosted the Sock Summit. I went to the vendor show and saw a wonderful variety of hand-dyed and painted soft yarns and hundreds of sock knitters.
Wow that green camisole is beautiful Edina. can't wait to see a picture of it finished.
The Swirl Shawl is stunning -- as are the camisole and the shawl beginning. I haven't bought any Malabrigo sock yarn yet, but I love to read positive reviews! I'm waiting for the "just right" colorway to come along at my LYS -- something with some green in it.
I missed you at A&S. L
