Sorry! I've been busy......

Well, after buying all that wool you couldn't expect me not to want to knit any of it, could you? ok, so I haven't actually made anything with THAT wool yet (although I have started a shawl....) but here's a few bits I finished recently.


This is a cardi I made with some fab wool from Joanns in America. I loved this pattern - the body is knitted in one piece and then the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round. No sewing up!! Woohoo!

This is a shoulder shawl, made from sock yarn. It's actually a semi circle (I folded it for the picture!) and by the end you have a RIDICULOUS amount of stitches on the needles.




This is a kit mum got me for Christmas (after some subtle hinting on my part...). I do like a rainbow.




This is known as 'knitting crack' on www.ravelry.com! It's 'Ishbel' by Ysolda Teague and a deceptively simple lace shawl. Why the nickname? Well, it's so simple and so pretty, as soon as you finish one, you want to knit another!! And, yes, mum has already suggested that she might like one....


Well, back to the needles.......
