Lest You Think There's No Knitting Being Done...

This Swallowtail Shawl (Evelyn Clark, IK) has been off the needles for a few days now, but it needs agressive blocking.
As you can tell, I'm looking far more sleepy than agressive right now.

It's in a very pretty mohair I picked up in Japan, the first of the souvenir yarns from that trip to be knit up. More details when all the work is done.

Also, fresh off the needles, a bag ready for felting. I made the pattern up as I went along.
And joining the frog pond was a misguided attempt to make a summer tank. For some reason, I decided to make it with a sock yarn. This was silly, as it was a stockinette tank that was just shapeless and rolling. So, hey, new sock yarn now.

I love the shawl!!! Very very pretty! You can see my misguided attempt at a tank in one of the pics I sent you... They are cute with the right shaping at the waist.

It's absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to see it after you get it blocked. :-)

That shawl is beautiful! I love how the colors fade into one another. Very pretty!

I swear, how on earth do you knit so fast? I feel like I have to get on the ball now.
