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.

Yarn overload...

After casting off the Whippoorwill last Sunday afternoon (it has not progressed from here),

I picked yarn out of the donation bag and grabbed my hook to try the Juliana Wrap.

This picture shows the colour best.

I am enjoying this hooky project,  though the same weight yarn is used throughout, the sections are completed at very different tensions which adds to the texture of the finished piece,

which is growing quickly.

Just as well really as I did a little shopping this week and now have these pretties lined up waiting patiently for the next knitting project to start here soon.

Here I am one row from finishing this blue section and then just the pretty edging to complete.

Both of these colours are darker than they appear here.

It will be in my bag today and should be finished by the time I return from a visit with The Old people.

And tomorrow is an off day here so there may be a cast on??

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
