I recently finished this Sweet Dreams pattern by Boo Knits.
It was my fourth Boo Knit and I have loved them every one.
The patterns are extremely well written and amazingly easy for the result. If you haven't done a lace pattern and are considering one, I highly recommend Boo Knits.
This was my first time to do the smallest version listed in the pattern and my first to skip the beads. I am happy with the outcome in spite of my love of BIG shawls. Even at the smallest version, it is still a nice sized (though smaller than my usual) shawl.
I loved the Grasshopper colorway of the Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light. Such a happy and versatile shade of green.
This past weekend, we enjoyed a quick road trip to Austin for a dear friend's daughter's wedding. The bride and the wedding were beautiful! Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day. I pray God will bless and keep their sweet marriage.
I hope each of you are off to a wonderful start of this mid-May week. Can you believe it is half over already? Time seems to just fly to me anymore.
As we rush headlong toward June...

Beautiful! It looks like spring.
You are encouraging me more and more to try these patterns. This is beautiful. I have not been able to wrap it around me brain as to how to add beads. I'll leave that challenge for another day.
Susan, the easiest method of adding beads that I've tried incorporates using a small crochet hook though the center of the bead to hook the stitch for beading... you slide the stitch through the center of the bead then slip it back on the knitting needle and off you go (or add after knitting according to the pattern). Easy peasy!
That is just lovely...everything about it is perfect! And thanks for showing all the ways to wear it...I'm tucking some of those ideas away to use!
beautiful Tanna...so true about the worrying...
Now this is an elegant, fine spun bit of knittery. I love it.
btw, may I cut, paste & post your latest water color to my Empty Nest blog? It's beautiful and your colors are some of my favorites.
That second photo - was so pretty - wish I would look that good in it. sandie
This is beautiful! As are all your lovely projects.
Love the color...I adore knitted lace, I am looking at my knitting needles again...just looking mind you, but looking all the same.
Blessing to you always dear friend.
so pretty and delicate!
Great color and a great classic soft shawl. Im impressed!!!!
Adore this. Just gorgeous.
Hi Tanna..
I know nothing about knitting, but I know enough to know that it takes a lot of talent to do something like this. Love the color and the work is just absolutely gorgeous.
Have a good evening....
That is beautiful, Tanna. You are so gifted and I like that size.
Wow, Tanna, you are one speedy knitter! This is really pretty and it was fun looking at all the shawls by this designer. Loved your "worry" quote. So true.
What a lovely lacy pattern. Love it...I wore my pretty rose colored one Sunday with my white outfit for Mother's Day. It was a hit. Thanks again...I wear it all the time.
Like a breath of fresh air. That Grasshopper color is wonderful, and the design is sweet. Another delightful creation. =) xoxo
I love it - and I agree with you about the colour. Do you think someone who knits like I do could make this? I'd love to try.
Amazing what somebody can do with a string of thread. I love this!
Oh my goodness it is gorgeous!!! I love the lace and the color of the yarn is exquisite.
So Beautiful!
Hugs to you,
Meredith
The color is beautiful, but what I absolutely love the most is the size of it. I love it tied around the neck like a scarf, and I love the small shawl. That's exactly what is needed for most of the year around here.
perfect spring/summer knit....size, fiber, and most of all the COLOR!!!! love it!!!
I love green and that shade is so gorgeous. Everything you knit is just beautiful.
I think the Hemingway quote is wonderful. Sounds like she may have read the Bible. :o)
Hugs~
Grasshopper, yum, love the shawl, love the color.
It is a work of art! Very very beautiful :)
Absolutely EXQUISITE! I love the design and, especially, the color. Tanna, you are so gifted!
i just love that pattern but the color is wonderful too...i don't know if I have anything that color and now...am going to keep my eye out...i love it
Oh my you mention June coming! Not yet please! Another lovely shawl and beautiful color and so lacey! Perfect for cool summer evenings!
That is my favorite color! It is so pretty and versatile. I bet you will get to wear this one a lot. Thanks for the worry reminder - it's hard not to - we're moms! Hope you have a wonderful mother's day. Have a great week too!
LOVE LOVE that color!!
The shawl is lacy and lovely! Love the color, too.
Thanks for sharing the verse. I need to print that one out and hang it up as a reminder!
I love it! So beautiful! And no, I can't believe May is already half over. Crazy!
Dear Tanna, I wish you a Happy Belated Mother's Day.
I love the saying about worrying. It is very, very true.
Blessings dear. Catherine xo
Mary Hemingway got it right, there is no point in worrying. I LOVE your pretty little shawl, it's so delicate and lovely!
HUgs, Cindy
Stunning---I love the color!
This is gorgeous, Tanna! It also looks so nice wrapped up like a scarf which makes it so versatile, and it is such a lovely color.
Since I am watching my baby granddaughter all day during the week the time flies by and I am not getting online too often. They grow so fast, so I am enjoying every minute.
Gorgeous!
Love,
Marie
I am looking at this shawl again and thinking how pretty it is. So stunning.
Your work is just beautiful.
