100th
Edit: Giveaway over. Congratulations Britney! get in touch with me and let me know which pattern you would like.
This is the 100th post on this blog, and that seems like something that should be marked in some way. I figure I can mark this moment either by saying something profound and meaningful, or by having a giveaway. And since for me today is a day of mundane tasks (laundry, cleaning, etc.), and I want a bit of pepping up, I’m going with the giveaway.
So, leave a comment and I’ll put your name in the hat for a copy of one of my self-published patterns. Share the post (on twitter, facebook, etc.), then come back and leave another comment saying where you shared it, and I’ll give you a second entry. I’ll draw the winner Monday morning, not too early.
The long and short of it: leave a comment before Monday morning, be entered to win a pattern.
Here’s to another 100.
The Last of the Diamonds
I’m working on the last repeat of the diamond section of my Arrowhead Stole. I’m loving knitting this project. It’s knitting up so fast, and the yarn is so beautiful, and the pattern is simple but interesting, and it’s already written up so I don’t need to worry about keeping notes.
It’s the perfect storm of happy knitting.

I don’t think I’ve really blogged about this shawl much. I sort of slipped it in at the end of last year as the last shawl for 11 shawls in 2011. The pattern has been patiently waiting for photos and a final edit, (it has probably been a couple months at this point, oops). But now that I have the photos edited, the pattern will be out tomorrow.
Much like the knitting for Spider Silk, it was an easy, comforting knit, that didn’t take a huge amount of brain power, but wasn’t totally mind numbing either.
