Year of Projects: Week 17

No finished objects this week but that's okay. It was another busy week of travelling throughout Toronto. Again. And still no employment.

Anywho, I blocked a shawl for the first time this week and was able to finally give my mother the Earth and Sky Shawl.

I think her sisters were more excited about it than she was. Here's to hoping she doesn't just throw it in the washer and dryer or else no more scarf for her :(

Instead of the general finish for the Flip Top mittens I had wanted for this week, I casted on for the Daybreak shawl.

I have already decided to give this one away to the lady I consider my Hamilton mom. Besides, she is always looking for something to cover her shoulders with so a shawl should be perfect.

Well Mona has learned something new

I am already at the point of binding off the Earth & Sky Shawl. The bindoff on the pattern is not one I've ever used before but I am liking the finished result. I don't know if it's because it's after garter stitch or not. I am wanting this to be my go to bindoff. I really like the finished appearance.

30 mins later...

It is finished! I still have to block the Earth & Night Sky Shawl but I have finished he knitting and the weaving in of ends.

Not necessarily the best picture and definitely not what will be used in Ravelry but I am happy!

I already want to do another shawl but I want to finish another project first before I go casting on another project, especially when they tell you to cast on 440 sts.
