Another shawl I've been working on doesn't look much different either, this is Crystal Blue Persuasion. Pardon the poor photo.
This is the cherry blossom shawl, it is on circular needles so I can't spread it out to it's full size. I still have quite abit to finish having just started Chart 3 and there are 12 repeats and over 300 stitches in each round.
Don't you hate it when you find a pattern and yarn that you like, put a lot of time into knitting it then try it on and it looks horrible on you? I have one sweater in an almost complete state but when I look at the color I think why in the world did I choose that color--I never wear that color. I was looking at the back cover of one of my Knitter's Magazines, I think it was a fashion show at one of their Stitches events. Anyway, some of the sweaters the knitters wore were just beautiful, but they weren't flattering to the people wearing them. I suppose that's the risk we take when we knit.
I still haven't gotten my computer fixed. I left it with my ISP in town and it was there a week but they still hadn't even looked at it, so I picked it up on Friday. Everything works fine except I can't surf the internet. In the meantime I can use AOL, so I subscribed for 3 free months, but you can use only 5 hours per month and then it's $1.95 per hour after that. I'm sure I'm over the 5 hours already just trying to find help over the internet to fix my surfing problem. Tomorrow I hope to take it to a real computer whiz to see if he can fix the problem.

I was in the JC Penney store yesterday and they had the cutest knit stole on display. It would be so easy to duplicate, I wish I would have scrutinized it a little bit more, though. I tried to find it on their website but could only find ponchos. Essentially it was knit in a bulky mohair type yarn, a short rectangle, (enough to wrap around your shoulders) then it was fastened with a buckle type fastener in front. Very cute. I have some Homespun at home and I just might give it a try.
I haven't posted in awhile, but haven't knit much either. I would post current pictures of my shawls except my computer isn't working right and I had to take it in to be looked at. It'll be a week before I get it back! If I'd known that I would have taken it somewhere else. For now I have to use the computer at the library. Maybe by the time I get my computer back I will have made some good progress to report.
