that comes through the kitchen shutters this time of year during the afternoon.
did a bit more embroidery on this blue scrim-like shawl and am feeling much more comfortable creating bullion knots.

in my quest to find better ways to organize, i uncovered some of these hanging pockets that i've had for years. it might work to catch all the bits and pieces lying around from projects being worked on. we'll see if this works. i'm willing to try anything to get rid of the chaos on my cutting table.

and finally...the shawl. it's almost finished. the scalloped edge is worked perpendicular to the shawl and each scallop is 24 different rows. it takes me about 30 minutes to do each scallop and there are 25 in total. if i lose my place in the pattern, i'm in trouble.

this week i learned a new way to join a new ball of yarn. it's called a russian join and works like a charm.
here is how it's done.

Wishing you all a great week and hopefully some calm weather.
