The birch has landed

The birch has landed.

Pattern: Sharon Miller, Rowan #34.
Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Haze, color 596, Marmalade - 2.5 balls or a little less.
Needles: 4mm/6 US, Aero circs

These pictures show the birch hot off the needles - unblocked. I'm not sure if there's going to be any real blocking of this shawl. I like the size that it is pre-blocking. I may just steam/spray it to get the edges to flatten out a bit.

This is a very easy knit, and would make a great beginner lace project.

For anyone who asked, "the other bird" in Saturday's post is Moe (like one of the Three Stooges). He's a nine year old budgie who has lived with us for almost all of his life. He rarely stands still for a photograph, so there are fewer pictures of him than there are of Alice.

Next up on the needles? Remains to be seen. I've already started a sock from the sock yarn I bought on Thursday. I have plenty of UFOs to choose from, and then there's the Leaf Lace shawl, as enabled by Cari. Big needles. Big yarn. Small shawl. A seductively wearable finished object....

GORGEOUS. Man, I love me some birch. You're gonna make one for me next, right?

[Cathy]

Very nice! I agree with the very English garden look.

It's beautiful! Love the color, too. Leaf Lace might be quick the way Cari did it but I'm using fingering weight and it's taking for-ev-er!

[Jessica]

Great job. It looks gorgeous.

[valentina]

Yummy!

It looks great. The perfect size. I never got around to blocking mine becasue on me, it's a large scarf, and I didn't see the point of blocking it to a size that would make it too big for a scarf, too small for a shawl. But on you, the right size.
We thought of you on Sunday.

Bravo! If only I didn't have one baby blanket and one "Caddie's Sweater" still to finish, and three Norwegian sweaters for the grandkids for Christmas yet to start.

[Kathy]

GORGEOUS!!! Looks like a great color for you too. Wear it well.

RE: birds...had the cat to the vet last week. The cats are seen on the same side of the building as the birds (? you would think that if they have the sensitivity to separate the cats from the dogs, they would do the same w/ cats and birds?) Anyway..as I was bringing Jazzy out the exam room into the waiting room there was a lady with a huge cockatiel on her arm. As I was paying the bill, I thought the bird was squawking...glanced in her direction..nope, she somehow has recorded her cockatiel's voice as the ring on her cell phone!? (Talking I could understand...the squawk, not for me!)

Birch is beautiful...but I'm still trying to figure out, is it red or is it orange?

[Risa]

One word: beautiful!

[Jan]

That is just beautiful, Cassie! And I can't believe how quickly you finished it, especially since you knitted it through a heat wave!
Wondering, will you be choosing your next shawl yarn to match Moe's coloring? (You might want to consider that...the jealousy thing, you know.)

[alison]

It's gorgeous!!!

[regina]

Cassie, that is stupendous, and that color suits you beautifully.

[claudia]

You are a funny girl. Orange Birch looks fabulous on you. Nice work!

[Eilene]

Beautiful, beautiful Birch! I can't wait to get finished mine!
