FO Friday!

Taa Daa!!! The Self-Fringing Shawl is finished!! The ribbon yarn is very easy to work with - same as any other yarn. The only somewhat annoying part is that it does twist which creates that unique pattern - kind of like yarn that has the think/thick slubs to it, I guess... anyway, here it is. I apologize for the color distortion. We took the pic at night and the lamp seems to make it a bit more orange-y than it really is...





On another FO, I was feeling kind of down, and decided to get my nails done to make myself feel better. Aren't they pretty?

I have two WIP's for this week. First is the self fringing shawl from last week, and then I am using the same yarn for a hat.

Here is the shawl:




Here is a closer pic of the stitches so you can see how the ribbon yarn twists itself to make an interesting pattern:




Here it is about 3/4 of the way done: (It looks more orange-y in this pic for some reason)




Here is a picture of the beginning of the hat done on size US 10 DPN's:



So, that's it for my WIP's. For more, visit Tami's blog!

I have a lot of Works in Progress to share today!!! First of all, I did finish the corkscrew shawl from last week but not in time for FO Friday, so here is another peak at it and I'll show you the finished one project on Friday.




Next, I started a Self Fringing shawl which is a design by Lisa Triebwasser from Knit One Crochet Too featured here. This will be another for the Craft Show.



Here is a close up of the yarn - it's from Plymouth:




Next , is a pic a friendship bracelet that I am making for Marie. However, there is a story behind it. A bunch of us from camp all decided that we need to really stick to eating healthier and get exercising so we are forming our own "Healthy Support Group!" We are making each other friendship bracelets to help be physical reminders to lead us out of temptation when we are faced with snacks or other unhealthy choices. Also, we are walking a very hilly mile and a half every afternoon. Because of this week's heat wave, we are encouraging each other to work out at home. I have been doing 11 minutes on the rebounder in the morning and am trying to do another 11 in the evenings!! Here is one of bracelets:




Last of all, I wanted to share that I am being interviewed tomorrow by Charlotte on her blog so please check in to see how it was!
