PumpkinMama’s Flower Basket Shawl is kind of making me want to buy the pattern and knit one. I am really not a shawl kind of person, but darn it, that thing looks great.

I think it is the variegation that does it. I’ve seen plenty that are solid and they never appealed to me, but this time it does.

OK, first I must finish the gloves I have started for Josh. These things are taking forever. I finally got them started “for real” as AJ says, yesterday. I am listening to HP6 while I do it and it helps because knit 1 purl 1 is entirely too boring.

Also, for a quick goofy knit, I love that Alison posted her pattern for Thing hair. I have a hair under two skeins of this variegated fun fur that is just there. It was leftover from Brittany’s teacher’s Yule present.
