On the Needles:(0:32)

Gigi is working on the French Cancan shawl in Oink Pigments dk, extra fine Superwash merino, in the

"Birthday Suit" colorway. Jasmin had enough beads in

the right color and size. Gigi strung one length of  Oral B Superfloss. She needs to knit a swatch and

figure out bead placement. 



Jasmin is feeling amazing and is on a finishing kick. She is finished with the body of the orchid colored

Cabled Raglan by Cheryl Oberle from the box of UFOs, and only has the collar left.

 

Gigi's Vanilla is the new black socks out of Patons Kroy rainbow stripes, are done.

A grey pair is also done, so she cast on a pair with black and red and brown stripes.
