Shawl and wrap

My off day was sunshiny even if not very warm.

I used my time wisely and gave my Whippoorwill shawl a wash after weaving in the ends, then laid it out to dry.


Lots of pins required to get the garter stitch cast off to sit flat - but I am very happy with this finish.
All ready for some action.


Crochet on my Juliana Wrap was completed while visiting The Old people yesterday. 
Just some ends to weave in and the Tassels to complete today.


I did not follow the pattern exactly as I was using donated yarn for this project.
The quantities I had of the red were less than the requirements so I omitted some rows or changed them to blue to suit my yarn.


This is an easy project which is very effective.

Now to finish another patiently waiting project before I start playing with my new yarn.

Hope your Monday was a little bit Sunshiny.

Blue and green

forget the saying - they are perfect together!



So the knitting has been front and centre this week occupying every available space.
This project coming along nicely and the colours are perfect, even if I can't capture them in the pics. The yarn is pure wool from Bendigo Woollen Mill and knits up beautifully.
I even did a few rows at NCB tonight, where most of us were knitting.
Reading has taken a back seat this week as there are too many other things happening.
Joining the Yarn along this week, where I found the inspiration for this project a couple of weeks ago.
Hope your week has been simply gorgeous so far.
