I didn't get a chance to knit a lot during May and the first part of June. Now that summer vacation hit early this year, I've been catching up on some major knitting projects. The two projects I did manage to get done during May are 2 shawls, Summer Flies and Damson.
Summer Flies is a semi-circular shawl I knitted in Malabrigo Cotton, a beautiful organic cotton yarn in a worsted weight. I like the color shift from a natural cotton color to gray within the yarn. It used up most of the yardage.
Damson is a small shawl with faroese-type shaping so it stays put when you wear it. I did mine in Malabrigo Sock, colorway Persia, and the edging is done in KnitPicks Stroll, color black. Even though I was supposed to be able to do it with one skein, I ran out of yarn and had to edge in black. Still, I think it turned out pretty well.
I managed to get some monster knitting done, too. One of them I still can't post, until I'm sure my swap partner received her package. The other monster I did was my cute little Stealth Murray, who I'm giving to a family friend tonight. He's made of awesome camo colors, with tan and black eyes, a purple mouth. I love the crazy expression on his face.
