I have been MIA for awhile now, but I have been busy.... knitting.
My DSIL invited me to her 50th Birthday week-end and I needed to make the perfect gift for her, so I decided to knit a shawl. I have honestly spent the last few weeks sitting and knitting after imposing this tight deadline on myself. It is from a pattern called Painted Fern Shawl and this is the link to my Ravelry page if anyone is interested in finding out more about the pattern.
However I will still show the finished photos here. I used a silk / baby alpaca mix and it was lovely to work with. I chose not to bead the scarf.
SIL told me it was the best made gift she had ever received so I was very happy that I had made the effort. I have quite fallen for knitting so blogging may be a bit slower at the moment as it takes a lot longer to knit something than to sew it! Ciao!
That is very beautiful. I can see why she was impressed.
