I'm joining Yarn Along Wednesday today.
I finished this, and then I went to some functional knitting yesterday and stitched up a Vanilla soaker. For some reason I totally got everything wrong. It turned out way too big. So big that (even after slightly felting it) it will not ever fit a child in diapering age! So, it's being felted in the washer now. It was a nice soft rosy hue and will make some nice heart-ornaments for the Christmas tree. :-) I did figure out why it got so big. I wasn't using the right version for the yarn I had. Duh, me.
I'm also knitting a green shawl using some Malabrigo Sock from my stash. And I have 5 (gasp) shawls waiting to be blocked. I finished The Silver Lining, I have a Rosie Shawl, and I used the white Malabrigo to knit three Shetland Triangles varying in size: Mother. Daughter. Dollie.
I'm reading Conception, Birth & Early Childhood by Norbert Glas. I'm enjoying the insights he offers about child development. It's so nice to see all of this unfold for Nuriel. If I get around to it sometime, I'll share more.
If you haven't entered yet, the Mother Earth Meltdown Monday Giveaway is still open to entries!

That White shawl looks like you would be wrapping up in a cloud. Lovely.
5 shawls! Wow! I agree with Julia, the one pictured is gorgeous and cloud-like. Lovely.

Uggh, I have done that with the vanilla soaker before too. In fact more than once. I am felting one now as I write this in the hope that it will be a good fit after. I have high hopes. xx
As with all of your knitting, the shawl is beautiful!
The book looks really interesting! I might have to see if I can get my hands on a copy and I would love to hear more about it!
