Happy Wednesday morning to all of you! I am feeling quite chipper right now because I have crossed one more project off my Christmas list. Another Elise Shawl, I know you are probably really sick of seeing these by now, but I am still enjoying making them. I have one more on the hook and then maybe I will be finished. Here take a look.
This one will be a present for my friend Terri. I like to make her something special for Christmas every year.
Purple is her favorite color. I made this Elise Shawl from Malabrigo Yarn, Rastita. I purchased this yarn a while back from Eat. Sleep. Knit., my favorite online yarn source.
It is gorgeous yarn to work with. Of course what Malabrigo yarn isn't?
I hope she likes it!
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my knitting ornaments. Many of you said you were going to make them, I sure hope you do and that you include them on your blog. I'd love to see your version.
My friend Kathy of Kathyinozarks is having a Christmas Basket Giveaway. She contacted me a while back and asked if I would like to send her a cup cozy for her to include in the giveaway. I gladly accepted, made one up and promptly shipped it. She also had help from two other friends. Included in the basket are fun items from Kathy including homemade soaps, scrubs and lavender sachets, a lovely hand knit scarf and some hand made jewelery. Please pop over to Kathy's blog and leave a comment so you have a chance to win this fun Holiday treat.
Hope you are having a great day.

It's beautiful Meredith, I have a feeling that if I got started on making them I wouldn't be able to stop either, it's a lovely stitch. We don't wear shawls much over here which is a pity because I love them, your friend will love hers too Meredith she is very lucky. :)
I never get tired of seeing your FOs of that lovely shawl! Your friend will be thrilled with something so beautiful that you made just for her.
I love this shawl and the color is beautiful and I'm not a big purple fan! :D I seem to have misplaced my knitting/crocheting mojo at the moment... everything I've started over the last few months I have ended up ripping out!!! My muse has moved me into a painting mode it seems... But I continue to love popping over here to see your latest FO!!! :D
Hugs,

You are a wonderful friend. I am sure she will love this gorgeous shawl.

Meredith.. you are so supportive and generous! I adore you shawl and never tire of seeing them. I'm thinking of getting a big skein of red alpaca to make one to wear in the winter.

I never get tired of seeing Elise. The color on this one is beautiful.
I intended to start a shawl tonight, but I don't have the right size needle. Oh darn....I have to go to the yarn store tomorrow. LOL
Meredith. I am sure your friend will love her shawl. It is so lovely to get a present where you feel the love worked into every stitch.
I also love the little ornaments and will try and make some of them next year for my favourite local Charity Shop.
Oh what a gorgeous shawl! I love it! Your friend is one lucky lady! Going to check out the pattern! Thank you! E x
That shawl is gorgeous! Your friend is going to be very happy when she unwraps her gift!
Another pretty, pretty shawl. I never get tired of looking at them! The Malabrigo is just perfect for this pattern, showing off all those subtle color variations. I am almost finished a scarf in a green Malabrigo. I love this yarn!
Another beautiful shawl...a friend of mine made an Elise shawl and said how nice it is to make....you don't do things by halves do you! ;-)
I've discovered shawls this year, but haven't made anywhere near as many as you....I've really enjoyed wearing a couple of them too, which i wasn't sure that I would (goodness knows why i was making something I wasn't sure about!)
Hi Meredith. I never tire of seeing your beautiful shawls so you just keep on making them. I have bought the yarn to make this shawl but haven't been well enough. One of these days......! Meanwhile I'll just sit back and enjoy yours. Joan
I love that shawl. YOu never cease to amaze me.
IM heading over to enter the Christmas Basket giveaway..what fun!
What a beautiful shawl, a wonderful present, love your knitted ornaments too :) xx
Pretty purple shawl and festive ornament. Wish you Merry Christmas and another year filled with creativity.
That's a beautiful shawl Mere :)
Love your shawl and the colour is beautiful. I am definitely going to make these ornaments, but it might be next year as time is against me. They are such a lovely idea xoxo

Purple is my youngest daughter's favorite color. It was also my mil's favorite as well. Your friend will love it. I like that pattern too. It is fun and I know exactly why you are hooked on it. I made 3 and sent one to a friend. The other 2 I am debating about. I don't know now who to give them to and so bogged down with this last minute stuff that I am about to go crazy. No matter how I plan, no matter how hard I try, I am always swamped.
(((HUGS))) Susanne :)
Mere, you are amazing with the yarn selections and patterns. I love the sheen on this in the shawl. I'm still hoping to make some knitting ornaments!
I love seeing any version, or color of your gorgeous shawls...bring em on.
And your darling knitting ornaments are so cute.

Love the color of that shawl! I NEVER get tired of seeing your makes! I'm going to check out the online store you linked to. I've never bought online. Always afraid to when I can't feel it! Why is it that every shawl I see, I want to make...and you and I have already shared our thoughts on shawls. My weather here in VA is either too hot for such things or way too cold! Unlike Goldilocks, I can't find the one that is "just right"! Hugs, A.
What a lovely shawl the colour is beautiful.
I love the baubles made from yarn there fab! x
I love the shawl, I'm sure the lucky recipient will love it too!!

Your shawl is simply beautiful. Jo x
Oh the shawl looks so yummy! Love that color, too.
The yarn ornaments are awesome!
Wishing you a most wonderful day filled with many blessings sweet friend.
