The shawl with no name

I finished this shawl on Friday. I surprised myself actually because a week or so earlier it felt a bit like I was knitting with treacle. Incredibly slow going. But suddenly last week I kind of got hooked on it again. I had a different border and edging planned but when I thought I ought to start it I realised I wouldn't have enough yarn for it so I stuck to my original plans and I'm happy with it. I'm not 100% happy with my photos. I wasn't really in the mood for proper photography session on Saturday so I just got some quick snaps. Tomorrow, I'll be giving Pixie th yarn to start testknitting the shawl. And once she's had a go at it and found my errors (there are bound to be some), it'll be released and possibly used for the Lace Variety Club this month.
I need a name for this shawl though so what about a name competition? Suggest a name and if you suggest the name I like the best you'll win a skein of Supreme Lace or Bambino Lace and the pattern. Leave your suggestion in the comments. I'll announce the winner by the end of the week.Look at the beaded edging:
On Saturday afternoon we went for a walk at Golitha Falls on Bodmin Moors. It's a lovely little woodland alongside the River Fowey (or at least I think it's Fowey). It's a lovely walk. I wan't really in the mood for a walk but I'm glad I went. I forgot to bring my camera but I snapped lots of photos with my mobile so they're not the greatest quality.
Simon and the girls went swimming in the river, yes it was freezing, hence the wet suits. Sam decided to join in too. She used to hate water and never went in voluntarily but now she jumps in quite frequently. She had several swims on Saturday. Here she is trying to swim up stream but the current were quite strong and she didn't make much progress. We had to keep an eye on her because she's quite small and the currents were strong and we were worried she would get swept down the river.

Isn't this a marvellous tree canopy?
Getting the shawl off the needles has meant I should be concentrating on making some progress with this socks:I've been kind of ignoring it lately. And I managed to make a good job of ignoring it over the weekend too, in order to finish another shawl. Yes, the Glorious sock yarn shawl has just come off the needles and will be blocked this afternoon. Pics on Wednesday. But I've got to get my act together on these socks and have made good progress this morning. They have got to be with an editor by Friday. I'd better hide everything else this week.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to going to the monthly knitting group at Spin A Yarn. I've not been for the last two months as I was teaching a workshop there two days after the knitting group and it's a long way to go twice a week. Pixie is coming down to meet me and I'm looking forward to seeing her again. I'll have a big parcel of yarn for her including a skein to knit the Supreme Lace shawl. she'll be doing it in Bambino Lace.

I've got some yarn to list in the shop and I'll try to get that done today. There is some Merino Tencel sock yarn which I'm thinking of re-naming Divine Sock. Any views? And I've got some Silky Merino in some stunning shades.

And I've been keeping up with my gym attendance. I went on Friday morning and had a great work out. And I went this morning and had a slightly shorter workout but Idid go on the stepper instead of the cross trainer and I was glad I did as the stepper was a lot easier. I didn't feel all that great this morning. I've had severe stomach cramps all night. I went to bed at 7pm last night as I'd already been sleeping in the lounge for an hour. I was completely shattered after waking up at 4am both SAturday and Sunday. I didn't even cook dinner last night. Not sure what Simon and the girls had to eat in the end but I'm sure they managed to rustle up something. I was quite surprised I slept all night, well nearly, I did wake up several times (the stomach cramps) but got back to sleep and still felt tired at 7am this morning. So although I didn't feel like going to the gym and had a shorter work out I'm still glad I went.

Back to those socks.
