Three

Finishes in July.

Two of those were big!
I have enjoyed wrapping up in my Color Affection already, I love the colours and the generous size of this one.
The top one is a design I am playing with. This version is off to a friend who lives in a cool place so should be useful for a few more months.
My moon beam was just a fun knit and used up leftover yarns. Bonus! 

There are more projects on the needles creeping towards the finish line, you can see some of them keeping the moon company. 

A new month with all the possibilities ahead. 
May your needles be busy.

Shawls

Have jumped to top priority with the recent cold snap.
So I spent some time last night weaving in the ends on my latest Color Affection, I  did sewing at FNSI. This one is slightly larger than the previous one I made as I moved up a needle size.
It is perfect for wrapping up in.

 I really want this next one finished in time to send to a friend next month, so I need to stop neglecting it. The rows are long and require concentration. I worked two rows last night and will attempt to maintain this pace.

It has my favourite-cables. If it works as I envisage it will sport large diamonds. 
It doesn't look like much yet but I am halfway through the chart so I should be able to see the shapes appearing soon.
Back to it, for todays rows, maybe I'll find my rhythm soon.

Hope everyone is staying warm.

FNFW

My reward for finishing the Father's sock during the day Friday was to work on something new and frivolous with friends on Friday night. So I started something small with fat yarn, if not fat needles.
I worked on this again at my Saturday knitting group, but didn't achieve much there between answering questions and chatting.
So far I have a body with a tail.
I'll be past later today or tomorrow to see what the friends got up to.
I'm off to deliver the father's socks and eat some mother made food. Yay.
Hope you get to celebrate your Dad too.
