I am feeling a bit overwhelmed as I currently have way too many WIPs to feel comfortable that I will complete. Physical therapy is dragging on and taking more of my days than I had anticipated when I started. I'm making this shawl for myself and completed months ago to take on our Hawaii trip in late May. As usual, life gets in the way and I'm dragging along still trying to complete the edging. Though this has been a really fun pattern to do, including the edging, I'm far from done. The yarn I used on this piece is Moda Dea Baby Talk, Nylon/Acrylic in Lemon Yellow. I am trying desperately to use my mom's and my own stash as much as possible.

I would like to shout out to Danni from Wesport Yarns as this wonderful pattern is her design. While traveling through New England we stopped at her shop and I purchased the pattern and some beautiful Juniper Moon Farm Findley Dappled yarn.

Next week...Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Come hell or high water (my mother's saying) I'm going to learn to spin, dye and use my own yarn. I have no idea how but I plan to stop at every booth and demonstration til someone guides me as to how to start spinning. :)
