FO: Cascading Leaves Shawl

Small triangular shawl from handspun yarn.

I made this from the BFL tops that I was given when I was learning to spin. I made a 2ply of roughly 18 WPI with it.

Another project that took a long time to come to fruition. I had a couple of false starts with this but it went very quickly once I made my mind up to settle to it.

FO: Pink Swallowtail Shawl

A second Swallowtail Shawl, much finer than the first – and pretty in pink…

Now, what was it that I was saying…

Quick update on the state of play, including news of knit status and PS4 North, and yarny gifts. Photos of yarn and knitting… nothing new there, then.

Plans and Surprises

One of the very good things about having a proper plan in place is having one’s ability to depart from it, don’t you think?

A Bigger, Redder, Butternuttier FO

A themed RAK on Ravelry’s UK RAK group gave me an opportunity to make two test drives in one pass. I wanted to test out some chunky yarn that I had from eBay and I also wanted to see what an unblocked chunky Butternut Scarf would emerge like. The theme was “red,” the recipient enjoys dark reds, the yarn that I had was a rich deep dark red – it had to be done!

Feeling Seedy
