Pettine & Skew

Maybe I have an obsession with the letter S...which would explain my current addiction to Shawls and Socks :-)

I finished this shawl in 3 days! I started July 2nd and finished on the 5th. It was a fast knit but it took me awhile to get around to blocking it so technically, I didn't finish until the 21st. Pettine used one skein of very pretty Dream in Color Starry in the color Pansy GoLightly. I love Starry -- it has silver thread in it too which makes it sparkly.

We have 3 upcoming weddings to go to and I've decided to make a different shawl to wear to each wedding -- it's cheaper than buying a new dress :-)

Skew is sock #61 for me. It was an interesting pattern and it was one of those patterns where you just have to trust the instructions. It looked terrible on the sock blockers (for non-knitters, that's the little picture) but they look great on my feet! I love this pattern and will have to make more in different colors.
