i feel so fancy.

Daybreak Shawl: Complete!

the little things

I haven't felt so great over the past few days-- headache galore. I stayed at work a bit late to finish a tedious task, then made my way over to the T to ride home. While waiting for the train, I pulled out my knitting (shown below) and a wonderfully friendly girl came by and asked what I was knitting. I pulled it out to show her, and said "it's a shawl" and she asked which one, to which I replied "Daybreak". She knew he pattern, complimented my work, and pulled out some socks in progress! It really made my day.

Check out my daybreak-- it really is lovely! Ha!

knits

Today I am wearing a sweater that I knit. I finished it last week and this is the second time I have worn it to work-- it is a cardigan. No one has said anything about it... Does that mean it's so good they think it's store bought?

compliment or insult?

i can't decide if it's a compliment or an insult when someone asks me if i knit something that i am wearing. as in, is it so bad that it must have been handmade? or, because someone knows i knit, the question is posed in order to be polite?

today i am my newly knit shalom sweater.

you be the judge. check it out here.
