Recent Knitting is All Blue

I have three finished knitting projects, and look! they are all blue.

Number One:  A pair of sockweight lace gauntlets. These were a Downton Abbey Mystery Knit-a-Long. The idea was that we got a piece of the pattern each week, to knit as we watched the latest installment of Downton Abbey. These were  finished back in February. Yarn: Knit-Picks Stroll fingering weight.

Number Two:  This wavy hat is knit  in a fan lace pattern.

Yarn is Madeleine Tosh Merino DK, Color Mica.  Pattern is the cover pattern from Weekend Hats, by Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre.

While it appears that it is knitted from side to side, it is actually a fancy twisted rib. 20 stitch x 18 row pattern.

Number Three: The Dragon Wing Shawl This is a nice circular shawl in a pretty pattern. (You can have your very own - they are on sale at YarnSmith Knitting Patterns.  Yarn:  JoJoland Melody. The photos are not color exact, but it's a nice mottled denim color.

The top section is knit back and forth, increasing in an arc to keep it round, then there is what seemed like an unending border knit around the bottom 32 sts x 12 rows. Actually, the edging is interesting - it is a combination of three patterns.
