FO: I always cry at weddings

When I completed the Frozen Leaves shawl, I mentioned to a friend that I was planning to give it away – perhaps to a bride. She told me another friend was looking for a shawl or stole to wear as mother of the bride and it would be lovely for her. I opined that white was not an option for anyone but the bride… but that I would love to knit something custom made for Mum.

Thus was born the Teardrop Stole aka I Always Cry at Weddings.

Flop Friday

Today’s FO post should be along tomorrow. I have been to town to hand the stole over and have returned home weary and disinclined to write blog posts…

FO: Amalia Shawl

I fell for this one – hook, line and sinker, just as soon as I ever laid eyes on it. It even seduced me to the point that I sent away for specially selected yarn, rather than dipping into the stash and making do. Amalia is a flamboyent piece and definitely needed a bold splash of colour.

FO: Link Scarf

Link is a lightweight lace scarf, knitted in a 2/28NM Cashmere/Silk/Merino blend from Colourmart. It is a quick knit and quite simple, but does have a couple of wrong side pattern instructions. The pattern is charted only.

FO Friday, gone AWOL

Dash it all.. I’ve been and gone and missed Friday. Life has got itself in the way and all that – I’ve been busy doing Other Things. I do have an FO, though -  and photos all ready. Perhaps I can write the post tomorrow. Right now, I am off to bed. Oh – hot …
