Catch up on some Finished Items
I spent some time this weekend fixing up the new design on my blog (do you like it?) and tidying up some of the pages.
I’ve added some additional items on the UK/US translation page (crochet hooks and terms) as several people had requested these and I updated my 2007 Finished Objects page. Whilst I was doing this last I realised that I had neglected to blog about the final result of two of my projects and so here they are.
The completed and blocked Melon Pattern Shawl and Clapotis.
The Melon Pattern shawl was knit as a wedding gift and the giftee was really pleased with it so that’s good! Here it is in the garden before it was gifted -
and here are some close-ups
I really love how this turned out and I still have three skeins of this yarn left so I’m planning to knit a shawl for myself.
The Clapotis was knit with the yarn I dyed with Kool-Aid here is the yarn skeined
wound into a ball
knit up into Clapotis
and blocked
with a close-up
I love the way this turned out and I’m so excited that I took a skein of undyed yarn and turned it into this!!!

Totally love the Melon Stole; I have to get a copy of VLT. I’ve been wathing her progress with the stole on Jean’s blog and it was so nice to see these great photos of the finished product - I love the yarn you did it in. Mind you, when I saw all those points I crossed my eyes. Obviously I’m still in recovery from the neckerchief!

Wow! Magnificent your kool-aid clapotis
It’ funny to see it on (I think I’m used to see it everyday… I’m now knitting my 4th!) an Melon pattern it’s very nice. I got my Victorian lace book and it’s very inspiring.
