knit, knit knit....

four hundred and more stitches per row take some time and focus....

the end result so exiting and worth it!
i am knitting the fountain pen shawl from the interweave spring 2009 knit magazine with hand dyed araucanian 100% mercerized cotton in beautiful warm tones 'lonco multy'.

only 12 more rows to go! I can't wait for it to be finished and blocked. i will not only wear it proudly but also use it as the new display for the shawl pins to give the website a fresh look.

there is more time to knit and at the same time not enough time to knit at the pollika office these days. pollika knitting accessories was born about a year ago and inspired by my daughter, who's nick name in dutch has been 'pollika' as long as we can both remember. she is a great inspiration and motivation: 'do what you love and believe in it!'

she has left canada and is now studying in holland to receive a bachelor of arts in dance in preparation for being a professional dancer. so the nest is empty :-( , no more help with 'photo shopping' and 'picture taking' or web building, but i can knit when ever i like :-)

"have fun pollika and enjoy this great oppertunity!"

knitters, please check back soon for the finished version of the fountain pen shawl an don't forget to check out the great fall accessories at http://www.pollika.com/
