WRAPPED IN LOVE

The shawl is done sans beads this time around-it blocks out at 66" and 20" deep at the back.
The edging is pretty, even without the beads.  This is made with KnitPicks Stroll yarn in Red Wing Blackbird colorway.
The pattern is by Kay Meadors, Twilight Sonato Shawl.  I've made several and it is a go to pattern!
Coming or going, it is a great wrap!

with a bird house with a family of wrens, btw.
Looking north, the other 4 arches and their new plants! 
 This birdhouse is empty, unfortunately.
After we got home from the shopping trip, I soaked and blocked half of my magnificent round shawl I made many years ago!

I will re-wet the other half and block it later today.  
I wore this to church Sunday and noticed that there were some pulled threads and even one chain broken on the crocheted edge which I repaired before blocking.  
I also ran out of pins trying to get everyone of those chains
 pulled into points!  
 

A LITTLE SETBACK

 Circular needles are my favorite way to knit for socks but the problem is having the wooden tips which when sat upon do break!  It's a ...
