Remember that awesome feat of knitting prowess that was the last post? Well here is the finished result. Those bumps are called nupps and are just a bunch of stitches knit together. Nupp should be the national word I think.

| The only thing cooler than making nupps, is saying nupps (those bumps are nupps by the way) |

| Blocking lace is so essential |
 |
| I call this one. Art. |
 |
| Lace makes me swoon. Like old tires and arty pictures. |

| This is my best knitting picture ever. Hooray flowers! |
So as you can see, it is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever made. I even contemplated framing it and selling it as art. But after much debating, I gave it to the person who deserved it the most. Bekky my bfffl! As a fellow knitter, she knows how much time and love goes into this. Also, I originally started making this for her as a condolence shawl (because she had a major loss in her life).
Today's lesson is. Knit lace shawls and say the word nupp compulsively.

ReplyDeleteI heart my shawl! It's above my desk so I see it every single day and it reminds me of my bfffl! *gush* <3
