This is Hexy and it's a winner.  I will definitely make more of these.  Free pattern available  through Ravelry.

This is Schultertuch-Dreieckstuch, another winner.  More of these coming soon.  Free pattern available through Ravelry.  The design is very similar to the Celebrity Shawl I made previously however, the stitch pattern is different.

Size 10.5 needles.  Caron One Pound - Lace

A free Lion Brand pattern. I was able to use 7 skeins of a discontinued yarn that was donated to the shawl group.

Size H hook

Super yarn Mart: Pompadour Confetti – Lollipop

My next project in progress is Mirth.  I’m knitting this while watching the Olympics. Every once in awhile I enjoy a nice knit lace pattern.

Inspired by a shawl worn by Jessica Simpson a long time ago. (Approx: 2004) I finally got around to crocheting it and it’s a good one.

I used a size K hook and worsted weight. It would be stunning in a lighter weight yarn.

Today would have been my 32nd wedding anniversary.

More milestones…today is my youngest son’s 20th Birthday. It’s all about him today so I will let the memories wash over me and say Thanks to God for blessing me with this gift.

It was 12 years ago on his 8th birthday that my husband & I took cupcakes and juice boxes to the school to celebrate. I remember it so well, I was a bleached blonde and one of his classmates was whispering to another student asking, ” who is that?” ”That’s his mom!, Wow, she’s pretty!”

That was the day I started blogging.

Now my son is 20 years old and attends college. I am no longer a bleached blonde and I’m widowed. The other day I overheard them talking and the friend said, “Wow, your Mom really looks young.”

But this is his day and it’s not about me. And so I blog…
