I knitted this shawl from Lion Brand Cotton Ease for a Lion Brand Swap. It was so easy and fun to knit, and I love the color. I think it turned out lovely.

My beautiful daughter, Miakoda was sweet enough to model for me.

The pattern came from the Spring/Summer issue of Vogue Knitting.

I think I will knit one for myself for the fall.

These Handwarmers were knit for the same swap. I knitted them from Red Heart Eco-Ways Bamboo Wool, from a pattern in Jane Austen Knits 2011. I changed the picot edging on the pattern, because I didn't like the way the edging looked. I made a smaller picot edging, it seemed much neater to me.

Once again my lovely daughter, Miakoda modeled for me.
