Magic Hour

I have a sample spotlight to wrap up the week.

Magic Hour (Ravelry link) was blocked and buttoned for my weekend in Freeport last month.

This was such a soothing, relaxing project.  It knit up in no time.  The shawl is easy to wear, and the buttons provide several clever styling options.

This sample was made with Lucia DK in Cool Waters, Celestial and Moon Shadow.  We used three colors instead of four.  Have fun and experiment with different color options!

Buttons, Bind Off and Blocking

My current shawl project is almost finished, so I decided to take a little break and look at button options.

By almost finished I mean I still have to bind off and block the shawl.  I'm close.  Very close.  Close enough that I felt compelled to pull out the button box.

The pattern calls for five buttons.  Only one of these choices has five buttons, but it's still fun to play around. And I do have another idea that might work.  I'll dig around in the button box again and see what I can come up with.

This is Magic Hour (Ravelry link), and I must say it's been a pretty quick knit.  I haven't been strictly monogamous, but the rhythm of this project was relaxing and soothing.  I'll be sure to post more photos . . . after the bind off and blocking.
