prolific!


prolific adj 1 producing many offspring or much output. 2 [often foll. by of] abundantly productive.
and apparently, on hindsight, that is exactly what i have been this past month! not in the offspring area (heaven forbid!!) but in the knitting area! my heavens, i have cranked out a couple of sweaters, a couple of vests, a sock, and a couple of lace shawls! wow!! since i am absolutely the world's worst photographer, i'm waiting for assistance with sweater pictures but here is my latest shawl. it is the evelyn clark pattern 'flower basket' from fiber trends, knit from some wonderful handspun blue faced leicester in the colorway 'autumn' from abstract fiber.com. i scored this delicious find at offf - i passed it in a booth at least three times (it kept calling me!) before i stepped up to the plate and made it mine! it soooo says fall to me!! i love it! casual and dressy at the same time! oh, so versatile!!
and i must say, this lace knitting business is really something!! it is soooo cool! and it really moves along once you get the hang of the respective pattern!! i could be in deep, deep trouble!! every time i look at yarn i am seeing lace patterns! yikes!! i think i'm in love!!
