silken kydd

Dear Mom,

Well I finally finished my Reed Lace Shawl (Ravelry link) in Elann's Silken Kydd (oddly I can't find any link to this yarn on their website currently) in Winter White and Rum Butter. Very nice yarn and pattern. It is warm and cozy and the yarn is luminously shiny. I blocked it using my welding wires which took some time but was well worth it. They gave me a nice straight edge with only a handful of pins.

I have also made a little progress on the Fair Isle cardigan for Bee, but I need a lot of concentration to work on it. So the second sock is on the needles and makes pleasant evening knitting. Next time I'll try doing two socks at a time just for fun. Bee wants some socks to match her daddy's so that will be fun!
