I finished a baby blanket that I started last year. It only needed one end and one side to have the finishing row. I have a picture of it, not blocked, but it's ok. The size is 28 x 36 inches.
The yarn is some baby stuff.
Then...ahem, I started a batwing shawl on Monday, and I finished it tonight. Clap, Clap, Clap.
One thing is almost certain, the batwing shawl will not come back with me. I am sure my sister will hide it from me, when I am ready to leave for home.
I still need to make a few little gifts for my family members, but I still have time, like tomorrow night and Friday night. On Saturday I will be busy packing and on Sunday I will be leaving.
Hubby is going to be all alone...oops, with the cat, for two weeks.

Both projects are fantastic! And what yarn did you use on the shawl? Is it self-striping or did you change colors?
Thanks, Drew,
I used Rainbow Boucle from Joann's
The yarn is self-striping.
That yarn makes great shawls, they are so nice and light. I made a poncho too, and the owner loves it. I bought several different colors.
You are amazing! Both items are great but I love the shawl. If I were your sister I would hide it for sure!!
Is the shawl one of your own ideas or is it a pattern?
Janet, Thank You,
The shawl is a pattern from the internet.
It's called Seraphina shawl, or as most of us who have made it call it "batwing shawl"

Thanks Pirk. I don't think I was awake when I read your blog otherwise I would have seen the link in your post!! I have seen that pattern before and often wondered if it was easy to do.
Janet, I added the link after you asked about the pattern, so you didn't miss it the first time.
It's an easy and quick pattern. I made this one in three nights.
Beautiful shawl! I'd hide it from you too if you made it while you were visiting me...
