Tangled


I’m currently working on a shawl called “April Lady” in the most beautiful yarn. It’s a new shawl pattern from The Invisible Loom. I love it.

This is about the halfway point. I’ve got a few rows left to decrease, it’s almost done.

I started an other shawl called “Cousin Kate”. its actually a shawlette. I love it. But I ran out of yarn (Ice Cream, flavour “Blueberry”)

Here’s my progress before running out of yarn. I ordered another ball of the Ice Cream, which is a baby’s yarn, but has beautiful gradients and is so soft. It’s a little thinner than worsted weight

See how close I am to being done?

I found a 1/3 ball of the Ice Cream yarn, but its tangled so badly I couldn’t untangle it. I tried for almost three hours. Here’s a time lapse of me untangling for a bit.

If that damn ball would have untangled, I would have the damn thing done! Got another 10 days to wait for the yarn.

I bought it from JoAnns, online, and picked up a universal S -loom (afghan loom) on sale for $24.99, US. After shipping, I paid $50 for the yarn and the loom, which is a good deal.

I went yarn shopping and stocked up. There were a lot of good deals. I left with a huge bag full.
