Something a little different....

What seems like a long long time ago, Erin was selling off a bunch of stuff, and I was feeling particularly indulgent so I bought a lot of her stuff. Including a Weavette!

I've been having a lot of fun with it ever since, and am finally sharing some photographic evidence of this fun :D

almost done my first square on the weavette, using some leftover knitpicks something or other. I love the plaidiness :)

the completed square! So cute! I actually made a couple squares with this yarn (I had almost an entire ball leftover from a sweater made last year..), so I could try my hand at piecing them together and such..

so along with the weavette, I had bought this silky yarn and cashmerey yarn from Erin. both so pretty and soft... I couldn't think of what to do with them, but I knew I wanted to wrap myself up in them....

so I decided, why not use the weavette I bought off Erin with the yarns I bought off Erin, and make a fun plaidy quilty shawl thing?! GENIUS!

the cashmere squares are bright and rainbowy, the silk squares are chocolaty..it's a very fun mix :) And they both make very light gauzy squares, so the shawl is working up to have a delightful drape. It feels so luxurious...mmmm.....

The shawl is coming along nicely.. stay tuned for a "shawl in progress" picture :)
