I do still knit! As evidenced by the completion of my First Leaf Shawl! This project was one of my goals for this year so I'm happy to cross this one off the list.
Pattern: First Leaf by Brenda Patipa
Yarn Lisa Souza TImaru
Colorway: South Pacific
Needles: US6
I didn't get my points blocked uniformly but I'll do better next time and I don't expect it will be really noticeable when wearing. LOVED this yarn. The color repeats are so small that there wasn't any of the big pooling of colors that you sometimes see in hand knits. It didn't split at all either.
As far as that list I mentioned above, I think I may avoid a lot of what's left! There aren't any list police that I've seen lately so I think I'll be pretty safe. Happy Stitches!

Absolutely stunning!!
The leaf shawl is lovely. Congrats on your finish.
Wow, this is gorgeous! And I absolutely love the color! Is this a hard pattern for a beginner to do?
Stunning! Actually that's beyond stunning. What talent you have.
Beautiful!
It's so pretty, Jackie! Do you know yet how you'll wear it? Over slacks? Or a special dress? I find myself, more and more, grabbing a wrap, especially when I'm heading into an a/c building. Church is notoriously cold! Your wrap will be perfect for too-cold a/c and/or cooler weather. Great work!
It is just beautiful!!
This is gorgeous!!!!!!! Love it!!!
That's just beautiful. I love, Love, LOVE the colors in that!!!

That is beautiful. I love the colour, and the pattern. It looks so delicate.
This beauty has a great mixture of colours. It's a wonderful piece.
It's beautiful!!!! I really love the colours and I bet it will be so snuggly to wear. x
Beautiful! Love the color of the yarn. Great job!
That looks so beautiful with that lacy pattern in that blue-green yarn. Really takes concentration to get that done correctly too. Congrats on a great finish!
You sure do knit beautifully! Yarn and pattern are a perfect match.
Gorgeous shawl! Love the colors. What a great yarn, no pooling and no splitting. Two of the things that drives me crazy.
How lovely, Jackie!! How long does it take to knit something like that (from someone who has no idea how to knit!)?
Your shawl is just stunning! The color of the yarn and everything. My girlfriend is trying to get me to try one of these and I've held off just because it looks so intricate, but I think I have to try it. Yours looks wonderful.
What a beautiful shawl! Gorgeous! And I'm sure glad there aren't any list police around... I'd be in trouble :o)
Jackie your shawl is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colour.
What a lovely piece of work, Jackie!!! That needs a lot of concentration to make, I think.

That is stunning. The colors remind me of a peacock and it's so delicate.
So, SO pretty! I love the little splashes of purple in the green.
Wow, what a beauty! The colors are wonderful. I know you are happy to get this off the list but more importantly, you can now wear it and show it off...good for you.
