Leaf Lace 2

I finished my Tidal Wave Tofutsies socks... will post pictures later. And I started another lace project. Oh how I love thee lace.


It's Evelyn Clark's Leaf Lace Shawl in Zephyr Wool Silk, in Ice Blue, ordered from Sarah's Yarns (a great deal by the way).

It's for my friend Bette. I am so pleased to be working on another lace shawl. I have loads of laceweight yarn now, and a list of other lace shawls I'm dying to start. I'm doing this one again because Bette loved the one I made for myself, and because I only ordered 630 yards of yarn. I hope it's enough. Others on my list are the Arctic Diamonds Stole from the Winter, 2006 Interweave Knits, the Kimono Shawl from Folk Shawls. Maybe the Bird's Nest Shawl from the same book. There are so many fabulous lace patterns out there! I'm open to suggestions too, so if you've got ones you love, leave a comment!

Oh, a couple quick movie reviews . . .we watched "Volver" last night. It was wonderful! Last weekend we watched the new James Bond movie - "Casino Royale". Hated it! I seriously do not get how that managed a PG-13 rating. I thought the violence was pretty awful. But I'm a little sensitive that way. Up next . . . "Children of Men" and "Happy Feet".

Happy Easter to all!

The shawl looks so pretty so far!

Isn't it funny how we each like different things. I absolutely loved the new James Bond movie (definitely not for little kids though) and I thought that Daniel Craig was the best bond ever and I thought I would hate it since I loved Pierce Brosnan. I do like Happy Feet too but haven't seen Volver or Children of Men.
