FO Friday

Rotten Fruit

I know you probably can't tell what this is, but it is my FO for this week... it is one of the first finished objects that I can actually share in a long time!!!

Yes, this is a post about knitting... And??

The pattern is Citron and the yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca Fine in black(I think).  I have a bad habit of winding my yarn into neat little balls and misplacing the labels before I get them cataloged.

Anyway, Citron is a truly lovely pattern and I really, REALLY enjoyed knitting it.  It took me a little over two weeks of inconsistent knit time.  The picture is of it blocking.

I've been wanting a black shawl and this perfectly fits the bill!  I even wore it to an IEP meeting last week and felt quite proud that I had actually created something wearable.

In other news, I've been helping out at my favorite LYS (Local Yarn Shop), Cast on Cottage,  as they prepare for their big move.  It was nice to get out for a few hours each day this week and fondle smooshy, soft yarn in rich, amazing colors.  I have a few new favorites: Misti Alpaca (any-all-YUMMY), Malabrigo Twist in Indiecieta, and Lorna's Laces new Ysolda Red.

I'm working on finishing my beaded Saroyan and intend to have it ready to share with you guys next week!

My other fantastic FO for the week has been the addition of my Facebook Page for Right to Learn Education Advocacy and a facelift on my Other Blog.  If you have a spare second, please "LIKE" my page on Facebook and add Right to Learn to your blogroll!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Expect more from me next week...

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
