I don’t know if I will ever forget that day with Jaci… as a matter of a fact… I’m going to send you my photo of her. I’m getting misty just thinking about it! It was so cute!

Your Girasole looks gorgeous. It makes me wish I would have used “real” yarn for mine instead of acrylic. But, hey, it’s going to get used and I might just get away with not blocking it. It’s almost not worth the trouble with acrylic. I’m on day 9 and the the last 3 rows of Chart G. There is an end in sight.

Sheri, your Girasole is absolutley beautiful!!! So much so that I decided to KAL with the blanket groupies. I am using yarn in lovely light and dark rose blended alpaca blend. Even thought I am knitting curtain swagsin an Irish lace pattern for my newly remodeld kitchen and NEED to get them DONE, I just had to start this pattern. Instead of using double points, I am using two circular needles (like you would for socks) and it is working nicely. Thanks for your blogs, your great web-store and for sharing your passion for yarn and knitting with so many greatful knitters!!!

I know you don’t need another comment on this theme, but it’s spectacular! What fun to make a giant one! Wow, if I made my current Aeolian in that yarn…but luckily only circular shawls really cry out to be made huge. Thanks for sharing.

It’s absolutely gorgeous! Wow wow wow… Oh, wow. You’re posting these pictures just to tempt me into joining the KAL, aren’t you

And I understand the crying when you finally see something you have a connection to. That’s exactly what I did when I finally saw the Rosetta Stone in person (and before you laugh, remember, I’m a linguist). My husband thought I was nuts.

Dearest Sheri – you did a BEAUTIFUL job on your Girasole! It’s stunning!!! I do have a question though, which colorway did you use? I’ve tried looking at your old posts but I can’t seem to find it. THANKS!!
