River
As predicted River got blocked today. On my kidlets orange sheets. Have I mentioned the tie dyed orange sheet story yet? OK when we purchased this house Zoe asked for the room with Blue curtains cause she likes blue and green and cool soothing colors. She picked out blue paint for her walls and a blue-white paint for trim. She picked out blue and green sheet set. This summer she decided she can't stand her room and wants to trade with her baby sister whose room is still white. No big. We go to the Bed and Bath type of shops and I let her pick out sheets and accents~ no more wall painting for her. She goes with orange and red cause shes a "hot girl." Joy. Anyway orange and blue/purple etc kinda illustrate some sorta optical illusion due to color wheel theory I am sure. So not gonna look it up. The wrap was stretched to point that it stood offa the tie dyed orange sheets so are a bit outta focus but its probably fuzzy cause it makes "my eyes get all confused and head hurt" according to Ashley. 2 views:
And
For those who don't care overly much for op art I did take one soothing picture with wrap draped against wall.....
The WIP picked is another shawl.... grey hap shawl from Sharon Miller. I was still increasing to create first half of center diamond and have just started doing decreases for second half of center diamond. I hope to be at picking up stitches for border in a week. We shall see ~ yarny days and knitterly evenings.
PS the blocking instructions call for pinning shawl out every 2"ish for wavy edge.... am not sure if I like it or will turn to handy dandy wires. Hmmmm I might just steam the edges to strait edge.

Dear Elka- I look forward to seeing your progress with your Hap Shawl, as I too am working on it- I'm at the edging- so far finished 2 repeats- hopefully tracking your WIP will inspire me to finish? Do ya think?
