A nice man came to purchase the YoYo scarf on Saturday. He scared the willies out of me by saying that the Annual Show was this coming weekend. Thankfully, it is not – it is the week after, as I had believed. The thing is… it made me realise that “under two weeks away” does …

Scrambled Brains
I know that I had something to post today, under the Saturday Jumble category. Can I recall what it was – absolutely not. My brains are scrambled (migraine, right eye) – actually, I should probably rename the category Saturday Scramble… So, let me see, what odd assortment of items can I bring you today? I …
FO: Moss on my Shoulders
Woolgatherers will know that I have been honoured to be selected by Rosematy (Romi) Hill as one of her test knitters. The Merope Shawl, recently completed, was my first test knit for Romi – this little sock weight shoulder shawl is my second. I made mine in Posh Yarn’s Elinor yarn and I added some size 6/0 beads from my bead stash.
Details and gallery.
FO: Mere
This is my first test knit for Designs by Romi. The shawl pattern is named Merope and is one of a forthcoming set of seven small shawls, all named after the Pleiades.
Merope is available now as a single purchase or as part of the yet-to-be-completed e-book series
Fo: Brandywine Shawl
Brandywine is a special pattern – most of the sale price is donated to MSF.
Simply the most wearable of shawls; a garter stitch body is knitted from the point upwards, maximising use of yarn, with a stocking stitch lace border and point edging added as you go. It is reminiscent of Aestlight, but the construction is very different indeed.
I made mine from a stashed skein of Smooshy.
Details and gallery.
