Still resting from this virus. Had a moment to read patterns...too tired to knit. I thought I was finished with my Citron shawl. This was made with Berroco Vintage Yarn in blue-green heather. Link in to Ravelry and the pattern is there.Very easy to follow and fun to make. I am thinking that I could make several for Christmas gifts. Realized that there wasn't a pic to share. Well, here's one and I do encourage you to try this shawl and tell me what you think.
Oh, I want to introduce you to the Knitting How To video next to the post. If you need to search any type of knitting stitch, cast on , or whatever...it's there for you.
Till next time, Valis

Working on a Design
Just came back from the doctor's office. I have an infection in both ears and an viral intestinal bug. Double Whammy! The poor doc asking questions and I'm answering everything wrong because I can't hear him correctly and sounding like a complete idiot. Thank goodness my husband was there to help...or laugh at the fiasco.
Couldn't do much on knitting, lately but I did try to write a motif design on graph paper and make a couple of swatches. I used a worsted weight of 2 colors-it was a bit bulky. I tried a DK weight at it looked better. Perhaps, when I feel better, I can make a shrug using the motifs for the cuffs. I share ideas-you should try it with any special stitch knit you may favor.
I didn't have the camera since I was resting, but I did get a couple of phone pics to share.
If you get a desire to see any photos of my knitting work-I'm on Ravelry as Valis.
By the by, the primary circular knitting blanket seen at the top pic was one of my first attempts at circular pi shawls. I was fortunate to give this to a new baby of a friend of ours and we are excited of his new family addition.
Will see you soon! Valis
