I knit a shawl, a light airy beautiful shawl.
The pattern is a simple grid, almost mindless, at times pushing on tedious. Perhaps it was still a little too soon after my blanket marathons to begin a simple rectangular shawl, but the results are wonderful.
Pattern: Elisabetta Damask Shawl by Cecelia Campochiaro
Yarn: A Verb For Keeping Warm Shimmering Tussah Lace in color Dewdrop
I knit this on size 6 needles, which was the recommended needle size. I didn't check my gauge, though I am a loose knitter and my shawl was slightly larger than the pattern specified. I didn't worry about it, and I like the final result, which is really all that matters.
Next up, something with a bit of a lace panel, a sweater, also on size 6 needles, so it should be a fairly quick knit.

That shawl is wonderful! What a great project for these hot days. All I have been managing are a lace weight shawl and my carry around sock project. The sweater should be nice. It’s your color.

Hello, can I ask you a question?
One of your previous journal entries had a juniper that was beautiful. Can you tell me the name of this
What is the name of the juniper and can you tell me?

This is a beautiful juniper in blue in the first photo in this journal entry of yours.
I am so sorry, that I do not remember what that juniper was called and I do not seem to have kept the details of that garden after I moved.
