Norwegian Woods Shawl ferdig*!!



Since we had a bit of snow left I couldn't resist using it as a backdrop!

The Norwegian Woods Shawl (Ravelry link) is ferdig*!!

I love the springy color of the yarn even if it is fall/winter now.





















I love the pattern. It was easy to do and fun that the design changes.

Let me warn you though, HiyaHiya needles are not the ones to use for lace. They just aren't pointy enough and the cord fights you every step of the way. It was the only size 3 that I had when I started this so I kept with them but disliked them all through the whole project.




















I did different beading than the pattern calls for. You can see them a little on this picture....

I really like the stitch definition of the yarn. It's Cascade Heritage.



















Sorry this is blurry. My lack of photo taking skills is showing again!

My project notes can be found here on Ravelry.

















And a couple days ago DH & I sat at the kitchen table and voted. I just think it's the best way to vote that anyone ever thought up!

And if you don't vote you shouldn't complain about the government. So this gives me the right to whine a little! ;)






* Ferdig is Norwegian for finished. Yes I'm an American that is full-blooded Norwegian but I don't speak it so I googled.

Blogging again

So I had a blog before but deleted it when I got into Ravelry. It isn't quite the same though....so here I am back to try it again. I hope I do more than report on the weather! Although I really like the weather and do a lot of talking about it.

I wonder if it's gotten easier to put pictures in here. It was a frustrating thing before.

DH & I voted tonight. North Dakota has just gotten into voting by mail or absentee voting and it seems like a really easy way to do it. I was able to ask DH what he felt the pros and cons were on certain measures and then I could decide which way to go. We just have to make sure and get them in the mail tomorrow. I'll be super happy when all the political ads are done. There will be a happy dance in our house on the 4th!
