Gigi was kind enough to agree to model my latest lace shawl: Ishbel from Whimsical Little Knits. I wanted to make something special for a good friend's 40th birthday, and I think I chose just the right pattern. I blocked it today, and yet again, the magic of blocking wowed me.
I've been spinning about an hour a day for Tour de Fleece, and spinning on my bike a lot, too. The rain has finally gone away, and CT has had amazing, warm, breezy days. The tomatoes are starting to bear fruit, and flowers are blooming all over the meadow.
This weekend will be filled with parties, knitting, reading, and spinning of both kinds. How about you? What are your plans for the weekend?
Oh, Bev, it’s lovely!
I’m glad summer has finally arrived to your part of the world. There’s been so much rain over there this year.
I am spindling along with the Tour de Fleece on Ravelry. I’m trying to do an ounce a day. So far, so good, but we’ll see if I can stay on schedule.
This weekend? Making another peach cobbler and trying to enjoy our slightly cooler than usual weather.

lovely! i forgot about tour de fleece but that’s ok. i’ve fallen off all spinning wagons (seats?) and hope to get on the 5 min a day again.
Your Ishbel is lovely! I’m spinning, too, although with no great volume.
It’s beautiful, and I like that it’s larger than most of the Ishbels I’m seeing. I’m enjoying the most beautiful summer weekend so far!
Incredible! What a lucky birthday girl!
Stunning! I am impressed!
