Another shawl

Am starting a black shawl with 100% merino from Uppingham Yarns, it's so fine, really lovely to work with.

Green Cotton Shawl

Wasn't sure about this at all whilst I was knitting it, as the cotton was a bit like string, but now it's finished it's blocked really nicely.

Such a lovely springlike colour, after all the dark colours I've been knitting with. Would look lovely over a summer dress.

I just love the lily of valley stitches, they really show up nicely once they're blocked.

Stole

Have just finished a merino cream Laminaria stole,
but am not sure whether I like it or not, think I prefer the original.

I've now started a new shawl, in a lovely fresh green cotton, if I had to give it a name, I'd call in apple green.

It'll be such a quick knit after the stole, a nice change!

Another ... but with a difference

So enjoyed doing the last shawl, decided to be brave & have a go at doing it as a stole, hopefully will work out.

1st time I've done a provisional cast-on too, got a long time to wait to see if it'll work! Used the provisional cast-on as on the knitty site, was the easiest to understand.
