For the first time in ages, I've picked up my knitting needles!
With my first grandson expected just after Christmas, I got out the ancient battered, family shawl pattern and got busy - this was round about the middle of November.
Then, I discovered it might all take longer than I thought! At 255 stitches the rows seem appallingly long, and take forever to knit, so there's no chance of doing a few in odd moments during the day.
So, I've found a Netflix boxset - or three - and settled down to many. many evenings of knitting.

At last, I have the main body of the shawl finished. Only the edging to go ...
wow that is stunning and such a lovely shade of blue
ReplyDeleteThank you x I'm glad to say I've almost reached the end now though. The colour choice was my eldest daughter's. I automatically thought of knitting in white, but mum-to-be picked the blue :)
