Even though these are the wee hours of Thursday.. we are going to change the time before I post pretend i did this ontime .. .....
Lets see what I have going...
...still some super secrets....
...my shawl swap partners shawl....(you might get a sneak peek next week)
...I am smitten with the butterfly shawl over at Crochetville that Holly designed......so I have plans to start that.. just have to decide a yarn....
...I know this list doesnt seem like much .. but believe me the super secrets number about 6 so I AM busy!!
So you all get extra treats .. I am going to do Show and Tell tonight too .. woohooo!
first up.. I went to my LYS the other day Bella Filati...
Had to show the bag.. its is pretty .. the store is too .. while I was there .. I picked up this.. its Linie 60 Tondo.. I am hoping to make the open fan cardigan in the interweave crochet magazine out of the green. brown , and salmon in some creative way ..
so today right out of the shower.. I decide I am going to snap some pics of my finished stuff.. so I am looking sooooooooo hot you might want to only look at one at a time ..
here is the spiral poncho from the Lionbrand site..
I used a bigger yarn and a bigger hook than they called for.. actually yarn is two I wound together.. brown chenille and a variegated chenille in brown, peach, pink, purple... the fringe is the variegate and a thin thread like yarn I have that is the purplish colour with slubs of peach ..
next is a shawl.. I really like it.. made with a burnt orange chenille.. a tannish taupy chenille.. and the lighter colour is three strands of chenille in a flesh, gold, and variegated with gold brown and orange and flesh in it .. I scalloped the edge in leiu of fringe.. .I took a vote and the scallop won!
I have a pair of Frye boots about that orange colour I like to wear this with.. I get alot of compliments on it when I do wear it ..
Here is my little blue bag with its finishing touches on it ... off white felted cord and a wooden button .. simple but nice.. i think this bag would look good with jeans ..
I have been so intrigued by all the entrelac knit I have seen lately.. especially the market squares bag.. I was incline to buy this the other night .. to see if I can replicate the look in crochet..
The final picture tonight.. a small gift I found in my mail box yesterday.. I am not sure the giver wants to be recognized so I will leave it as .. a fairy godmother.. but its the cutest thing ever! .. I *heart* this dipping plate and spreader.. how could I not..? my name is indeed 3 Olives !!

Beth-
If yo are trying to make me jealous with all your finished work and yarn, you have. Rebecca is right, you do beautiful stuff, if I could only be half as talented as you I would be happy.

Wow EJ!!! That stuff is gorgeous!!! I love the way your spiral poncho turned out, very elegant. And I really like that blue bag, definately good with jeans!! Now I know I've got to find that entralac(sp) book, the market squares bag has been calling my name as well.
I've gotten part of your package and I'll be working on other parts of it this weekend, hope you have a great weekend and visit home!!
