Shawl is FINALLY done!

I'm so so sorry! I wouldn't allow myself to start another project until I got this one done. Bad mistake. I decided to start Emma's apron top because if I didn't summer would be over before she could wear it. So, I started it Sunday evening and worked on it yesterday at work and last night before bed. Today, I was called at work because Emma was running a small temp. Got her home with Garrett and they both took long naps so I got the house cleaned! Thankfully my apron top was out in the truck and I was too lazy to get it out. So, I decided to get online and figure out how to finish up my shawl. If I had realized it would only take me 2 hours, I would have done it weeks ago! Yeah, right...I'll tell that story in a bit.

I'm sure I've mentioned the prayer shawl before, but the link is www.shawlministry.com. I heard about it in a knitting magazine and decided to do one for my aunt. She has a condition that if left untreated will cause her to go blind. She has been on prednisone for the past 2 1/2 years and the levels fluctuate. She has constant headaches and back in May she had a hysterectomy. So, I decided for her, I would attempt to do the shawl. And I think it turned out great (although not perfect...but who considers his/her work perfect). Well, here are the pics. Made with Lion's Brand Waterfall yarn :)

Isn't it gorgeous????

I didn't take any pics of the apron top. But I will and get those posted up soon. After the apron top is completed, I am going to knit up another pair of picky pants for Emma in some yarn that I dyed with pink lemonade. Here is that yarn, rolled by my wonderful husband as he was recuperating from colon surgery. Remember, I mentioned I would have completed the shawl weeks ago...well, there was no way, because I was waiting on my hubby. But while at the hospital I was knitting on the shawl. I just had to lay my needles to the side for a bit. :)

Now...off to work on the apron top before the weather gets too chilly!
