I am so excited to get this out to you!

Yarn in colors red, green, blue, and purple wrapped around a PVC niddy noddy.

Finally using my homemade niddy noddy to get the kinks out of a sock blank. Using the pvc pipe means that I can get it wet without concern.

Burgundy shawl pinned on blocking board with dark streak down the center due to water sprayed on it for spot blocking.

So here goes the spot blocking.

#knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #textillianstudios #sleepingsatelliteshawl #briochelace #spotblocking

Burgundy red brioche lace shawl, folded in half, being aggressively blocked.

First time aggressively blocking a shawl folded in half. If it doesn't work out at the fold line, then I reblock it (after getting additional blocking pads and pins).

Large burgundy shawl is a crescent shape on a beige carpet.

Look at what came off the needles last night! I have yet to get an accurate rendition of the color in any of these photos.

Close up of finishing of brioche lace shawl.

Sorry for the flash photo, but it's party time here. Looks like everyone at Rhinebeck is having a great time. (Yes, I am jealous.) But I do have the finishing of my large version of Sleeping Satellite to console me.

Burgundy colored brioche lace shawl on the needles, resting on the lap of a man in a light blue shirt and olive drab shorts.

This is the back of Sleeping Satellite. Looks just as good as the front. I am going through about 50g of yarn a week, so hopefully, this will be off the needles in about two weeks. The charts are done, so I am in a pretty good place with it.#knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean

Silvery gray brioche lace shawl aggressively pinned out on blocking mats.

Sleeping Satellite came off the needles just before leaving for vacation. Today was the first day that I had a chunk of time and daylight to do the blocking. Wow! I did not expect it to block out this large! I can't wait to see how it is once it is dry.

Close up of brioche lace section of new shawl design. The yarn is a silvery gray with specks of color.

I am working through Sleeping Satellite, with some ripping back involved. But I think the rework is worth it. Hopefully, soon, I will be writing it up.

In any case, making good progress on Sleeping Satellite shawl. It feels like I just started it.

Brioche shawl in gray resting on a table in front of a drink.

Went to knitting group tonight and worked on my Sleeping Satellite shawl. I am starting the "craters" earlier on this version. I think the proportions will be better this time.

Start of a brioche lace shawl on the needles being held near the center pull ball of yarn in silvery gray with multi-colored spots.

Here I go again (with some changes). Yarn is @lolabeanyarnco Wax Bean in the colorway Moonshine.

Brioche lace shawl on the needles. Yarn is a silvery gray with multi-colored spots.

Close up shot showing yarn running through where the shawl will be ripped back to.

Tinking back again. Decided I needed to simplify a bit.

I have completed 3 sets of "craters" in Sleeping Satellite. Onto other terrain.

Giving everyone a peek before I rip out some of this. Not a major change, but one that requires going back. Sometimes, I have to see it on a large scale to know if it is right.
#knitting #lolabeanyarnco #waxbean #briochelace

Just love looking at all of the colors in Moonshine.

Photo shows the start of a single color brioche crescent shawl. The yarn color is a silvery gray with small bits of green, blue, pink, and yellow. Also in the photo, is a cd of Tasmin Archer's album "Great Expectations."

So I got something new on the needles.

Center-pull ball of yarn that is silvery gray with multi-colored spots. Next to the yarn is LolaBean Yarn Co band that was on the ball initially.

Just a few more things to iron out before I cast on for my next design.

Working through ideas.

Look at me, purposely making holes in brioche! And it is single color brioche.
