Like all good crafters, I haven’t finished
one project before I start the next and the next. It’s no wonder that our new
year’s resolutions always seem to include finishing off projects that went into
hibernation.
So, true to form…the purple beaded shawl is
all knitted and has been blocked, but it’s not quite finished. I’ve just got to
weave in the loose ends and take some photos. I will share these as soon as
I’ve got round to it. Meanwhile here are some pics of my latest projects.
(notice the new needles put to good use!)
This is Beachcomber, a warm autumn shawl
with a little bit of cable detail running along one edge.
This is my own pattern using Debbie Bliss
Fine Donegal yarn. I love the flecks of colours within this yarn;it reminds me
of a pebbly beach, hence the name.
This is a great ‘mindless’ project, which I
can enjoy knitting whilst watching a film or favourite TV
program.
In contrast, I’m also about to start a
smaller project that takes a bit more concentration.
This is ‘Snood’ designed by Sara Thornett
for Rowan. It was a freebie that I could pick, from a choice when I bought the
purple lace yarn for my beaded shawl.
It was the coral colour that stood out to
me and I thought it would make a great everyday cowl/scarf and would brighten
up my dark coloured coat for autumn and winter. It is supposed to be done in
Rowan Creative Linen, but I chose a cotton mix and bought enough so that I
could loop it round my neck twice.
That’s the plan anyway.
Till next time…
