WIP Wednesday - Knit - a - long!

Hello again. I've gone back to work full time, and the stress had sent me into a knitting frenzy for a while The blog kind of went to the wayside for a bit, and well, the housework did too.

I'm getting my groove back and I have a lot to show. I've joined a few knit-a-longs and my forever sweater ardielse is almost done! (No pictures of her though, she is just too close to being finished. Just the bottom hem is left, and then the finishing and modelling the beauty.


So instead, here are the KALs I'm working on:

The Holden shawlette with a small KAL group I really enjoy. I don't have a good recent photo, once it gets too big its really hard to photograph on the needles. I'm about ready to start the lace section

And everyone's favorite infliction at the moment: The Color Affection Shawl. I'm knitting mine in Madelinetosh Merino Light. (A new MadTosh store opened in Fort Worth!!!) And the most interesting thing happened. I picked out two colors at the store to go with the skein I purchased at the FiberFest last month. The green and the blue skeins are the same colorway (Cousteau) bought at two seperate times. They are going to go SO WELL together. SO EXCITED!!
