Haven't posted in a long time...

I've been a bit busy with my summer class and reviewing for the School Psychology Praxis this past month. But I took the Praxis this weekend, and my summer class is almost over! So I thought I should post.

I finally put a little ribbon in my eyelet skirt (pattern by Kat Coyle, some revisions were made to make it shorter, and I knit it in the round) and wore it for the first time:

I also started the Puff-Sleeved Feminine Cardigan from Fitted Knits by Stefanie Japel, I finished the body earlier this week and finished one of the sleeves yesterday. I made a lot of modifications including making the sleeves less puffy, making the body a little longer, and knitting straight stockinette stitch instead of the lace peplum.
I started the Little Silk Shrug from Lace Style by Pam Allen earlier this week too, I'm 96 yards into that:
And because I haven't posted since June... Fourth of July weekend we took a crazy 25 hour round trip drive to northern Georgia and back for a family reunion and I was able to get lots of knitting done! I finished my mini-Clapotis using the Misti Alpaca hand dyed yarn from a Ravelry swap (still needs to be blocked)
And because I wanted to make a bigger clapotis (probably 2-3x as wide as the scarf, but still not full-sized), after making the scarf sized one, and because I really wanted to try knitting with Bam-boo -- I was able to make this much of a second Clapotis, using Classic Elite Bam Boo yarn, this is 4 skeins worth, I have 2 more skeins so I can make it longer.
