Another FO - This is one I am REALLY proud of!!!

Wow, Friday really does roll around so quickly, today has snuck up on me somewhat!!! We are leaving early this morning to go down to Treverton to get Caide's uniform for next year, I can't believe my son is going to High School in a matter of months!!!!!

So this must be a quick post!!

Today I am going to share a recently completed handspun shawl. I absolutely LOVE how this item turned out. My handspun yarn is thick and snuggly, and the colours are unlike any I have knit with before. Needless to say I am a little in love with this one, check it out!!!!

I can't wait to wear this!!!! The pattern is called Pogona and is available for purchase on Ravelry HERE. The construction of this shawl is just so clever, and it was a joy to knit!!

FO Summer Waves Cardi - LOVE it!! :)

Welcome back to my blog this fine Friday. I am so glad it's weekend. Even though I have been down and out with flu all week. It's now moved onto a cough, and my chest feels like it's on fire when I cough. I NEED to get better soon though, I am meeting my Mom and Sis at the Sunday Tribune Garden Show in PMB on Sunday and I really don't want to miss it!!

So, moving onto my cardi. I was inspired by the lovely lady from Tangled Yarns to knit this pattern when I saw hers. She knits like a dream, and I am constantly inspired by her!! The pattern is called Summer Waves Cardi, and it is a free pattern available on Ravelry HERE. It was a well written, easy to follow pattern, which knit up nice and quickly and gives a great end result.

The yarn I used is just LOVELY!!!! It is a locally produced yarn called VINNIS COLOURS Nikkim, and is 100% cotton. This is the first time I used this yarn, and I must say I am super impressed! It is slightly splitty (as cotton yarn is), but besides that, it knits up beautifully, with a lovely variegation, and drape. I will definitely knit with this again!!! I purchased my yarn online from SKAPIE. Do yourself a favour and check it out!! They have a great range of yarn and give excellent service!! :)

My 2nd Color Affection!!!

I have another FO to share with you today. It's my second Color Affection which I finished last month, but only got around to taking photos of yesterday afternoon. I knit this one with  Elle Premier Natural Cotton DK, so it is quite a substantial shawl/scarf. This really is a lovely pattern to knit, it is fascinating to watch the shawl take shape.
