the latest.....

Finally finished the lacy poncho that I started awhile back. And, it is cool enough to wear it....End of July in the NW.
I got sidetracked working 3 jigsaw puzzles in a row....this one was a bit difficult, although beautiful! the pieces even looked like glass or pieces of china, it must have come from a very fine photo!
Anyway, got back to the poncho, and I do like it alot.
Here it is all pinned out....
I wore it to work today.
I didn't mean to put this photo on twice. Obviously can't figure out how to delete it!

more knitted things

This is the first real lace shawl I knitted for
Jake which started the whole lace shawl binge!
this design is from an old doily pattern named "mimosa"

and this is a variation of a 1940s doily pattern "sunflower"
a favorite dress to wear for work.
