Lilie's Knitting Blog: December 2014
http://lilieknitting.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
I decided that I would start a blog all about my knitting projects. I learned to knit in the late 1980's (made 4 placemats none matching and a few holes). I picked up knitting again just in Feb 2009. Now I've started to spin Aug 2010 with a drop spindle and now with a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started weaving Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. Shark Ornament - DONE! It took me about an hour to make one. Sunday, December 21, 2014. SB Gloves - DONE!

FayKnits: Wintersweet
http://fayknits.blogspot.com/2015/04/wintersweet.html
A Journey of Creative Knitting. Friday, April 17, 2015. I finished Wintersweet by designer Boo Knits. It is an elegant shawl in tussah silk with myuki glass beads. It is soft and quite heavy with the many beads. I did not knit the picot edge but decided on a stretchy bindoff which I am very happy with. This is a lovely knit but quite a challenging lace pattern. I love it. I am now back to working on the evenstar-shawl. Some knitting videa podcasts I've been enjoying are the fat squirrel with Amy Beth.
