I'm blocking the small shawl made with Malabrigo laceweight (subject of April 6th post) and another one that is more of a scarf size. Both of these were knit using a variation on the technique I talked about in the Feb. 23 post. Here's a shot of the shawl using the Malabrigo (it's the bottom one - the top one is a kid mohair/silk blend with a touch of sparkle): I purchased some glass beads a while ago, have been using some of them recently. These were strung on the yarn using a beading needle, then crocheted on as part of the edging.

A view of the knitting on my kitchen table this morning. The blue scarf is the one I'm wearing today, made of Plymouth Yarn Linaza, color Robin Egg. The actual color is a little more aqua-ish than it appears in the photo. The red yarn on the needles is from Lucci Yarn and is a lace-weight. The blue-ish pink yarn is from Black Bunny Fibers, just finished a shawlette out of it, which is waiting to be blocked.

Started a small shawl for myself, using some Malabrigo merino/silk yarn that was a Christmas present. The yarn is lovely. Laceweight. (ps - I would rotate the top pic if I could figure out how.)
