Forgive me readers, for I have sinned.

It has been 16 days since my last post. I confess; I have been knitting. I have been spinning. I have been finishing. I have dyed. I have knit in public. I have even been (gasp!) hand processing wool.

I have finished my Wool Peddler's Shawl, except for the blocking:

(Notice the Swarovski crystals in the edging:)

I have finished not one, but TWO pairs of show notes socks. Here are the Andrew's Vanilla pattern in Abstract Fiber's "Newport":

I finished my Abby, which Kalendargirl says makes me look like Ginger Rogers:

I have cast-on, ripped out, cast-on, ripped out, and cast on my Sunshine Socks:

And now that Chloe has set in the sleeves and seamed the shoulders, I'm THIS CLOSE to finishing my Katarina:

So, I leave you with pictures, and I assure you, there are stories to go with these pieces. As my penance, I have been tasked with knitting a 5" garter collar and cuffs (with US 3/3.25mm needles) on the Katarina.

    I'm still in shock over the 'hand processing wool'. I thought that was no longer an option for you. The world, as I know it, has changed!

    I see you have been studying up on your Catholic-ology since your nun confrontation!

    *drooling*

    So, care to share how you attached the crystals to the edging of the shawl? That looks amazing.

    Very pretty shawl and in my favorite color. It looks like you've been very busy.
