A Belated Happy New Year

Well, the knitting took over, and the PC hasn't been on much.

I have completed a baby blanket and matching hat, plus a multi-coloured baby shawl.

This is Sirdar Snowflake Chunky Magic , in "Raspberry Ripple" colourway, which describes it perfectly.

It is wonderfully soft - ideal for baby items, and very quick to knit.










And for Me .....


This is my finished shawl, hot off the needles, but it needs to pinned out to block in it's correct size. It doesn't look like an item at this stage!!

It's in Cherry Tree Hill Laceweight Merino yarn.
The pattern is Flower Basket from Fibre Trends



It looks so much better when it has been blocked.












And here's a close-up of the lace.

Ooh, that is one fab shawl...

I've just cast on the Swallowtail Shawl from Interweave, hope it turns out even half as well as this!
