Forget-me-not shawl

I have now finished this forget me not shawl by evelyn clark designs. The wool is dream in colour baby colourway deep seaflower, the same as the one used on the pattern. Horrible yarn to knit with, had slubs, changing thickness and stained my bamboo addi needles, colourway was nothing like in the picture either, but was much nicer when washed and blocked. Each point has 3 beads.

concertina lace socks

I've now completed the first sock and am around 1/3 of the way through sock 2. Suffering a little from 2nd sock syndrome-i'm losing interest in knitting it and want to do another shawl!

finished leaf lace shawl

Here it is being wet blocked to fix it to it's final size. Was knitted in artesano alpaca hummingbird 4ply starling colourway. You can't see very well from the pictures but each point has a glass bead in it.

snow fun!

Here's me and two of the kids having some fun in the snow.

christmas cake and other things

I forgot to post my second ever attempt at icing a cake. Silver balls, green tree with edible glitter and handmade snowflakes with pearl lustre.
I also 'found' a jumper i started knitting and tehn got pregnant, so now it will have to be for the youngest boy as it won't fit the intended recipient!
I have started knitting a lace shawl for myself in artesano alpaca starling colourway, in the pattern on the picture. I can't stretch the work in progress to show the pattern and take the picture, so photo'd the pattern instead.
