1st October 2016 - Lazy Saturday

Enjoying a day at home...the needles are busy working on a shawl design called `A New Season` by Maanel. I'm knitting this in Rowan Felted Tweed.  The pattern is a 20 row lace and cable stitch repeat and I'm really enjoying working on it.

I originally purchased the yarn to knit a sweater for myself but I wasn't enjoying the pattern so I decided to frog it and cast on something else.

Baby Shawl

Every now and then I get the urge to make a baby shawl....for no-one in particular but just for the enjoyment of creating something beautiful.

I decided that this time I would make a crocheted shawl so trawled through my baby pattern books for a suitable pattern.

I settled on a dainty shell pattern in fine 2ply yarn.....luckily I had enough Patons 2ply in my stash so was able to get to work straight away.....and here is the finished result

 I have listed the finished shawl in my ebay shop Precious Newborn Knits if anyone would like to take a peek.

It would make a beautiful christening of home-coming gift for a new baby.
