I is for Independence
I need to catch up on my ABCs and my blog, don't I? (somehow I think I lost a post too...) Independence seems fitting for the letter I this time of year. It also is perfect for descriping what my now 14 year old niece is striving for:
(the picture shows 'growing-up-too-fast' niece with the blond hair & her cake. We also celebrated Z's birthday - she is in the background with candles still lit).
This family trip also allowed me to gift my sister her birthday shawl. (Fiber Trends Stars & Stripes. Knit with Wool in the Woods yarn: ballet in the color military blue.)
A quick closeup before I left. I didn't realize that the settings are off on my camera though & therefore it's blurry. Blocking this made me realize some things: I love lace & I want these.

the shawl is neat looking! love those stars!
Great shawl!
Beautiful shawl. I always swore I would never knit lace but the idea of watching it bloom during the blocking process is very appealing. Not yet though, I've been bitten by the sock bug.
Very pretty shawl! And also very appropriate for this time of year.
Very nice shawl! Those wires would be nice.
