On The Needles Friday – August 31, 2012

This week I have more OFF the needles than on the needles.

I finished this Mystery SKAL a couple weeks ago, but finally got a picture of it on my dress mannequin.  Although it’s a blurry picture, and doesn’t do the color justice, it does give a view of what it will look like when worn (if I didn’t have any arms!).

This week I finished my bright and fun Cancun shawl.  That’s the colorway of the hand-dyed yarn, not the actual name of the pattern.  I purchased this as a kit at a LYS and it was an easy knit.  A 12 row pattern with rows 11 and 12 as eyelet:

This shawl has not yet been blocked, but I am loving the potential of the drape and ruffle on the edge:

Again, my apologies for the blurriness of the photo’s, there are just some days that I have a bit of shake in my hands and I had to make a decision to quickly snap these pics, or forgo the post due to time constraints this morning.  (In other words I have no idea where my tripod is and didn’t have time to find it!).

Finally on the shawl front, I am still working on my Vermont Leaves shawl.  I’ve signed up to finish this as part of a Labor Day Finish It Up challenge, but upon reading the next 80 or so rows that need done, I am not sure I’ll finish it this weekend:

I also signed up to finish the second sock on my On Hold Socks that have been in hibernation for months now.

I may have signed up for a bit more knitting than I’ll accomplish, but I’m going to give it my best shot!

What’s on your needles this weekend?
