The baby shawl border is making progress, hopefully only a few more hours of knitting then I can sew it on and we’re finished.

In between I have completed another pair of socks - I’ve been off work with flu and sat inside doing nothing but knitting so things are flying off the needles!

these are in Opal Magic knit to the pattern that comes with Opal Yarn. Finished in two days.

I’ve also finished one of a pair of socks for my hubby - Railway Stitch socks from Knitting Vintage socks by Nancy Bush in Regia 4ply grey with  blue contrast 

This is a lacy mohair scarf/stole which I completed knitting some time ago but have only just managed to block -

I’m really pleased with the way it’s turned out, it was 25gm ball of hand-spun superfine kid mohair in a wonderful peacock blue/green with a black core. The scarf is about 150cm by 45cm and was adapted from a pattern in Rowan 38 designed for Kid Silk Haze. It was knit on 7mm needles and is like wearing a cobweb.

This is going to be a surprise pressie for a friend and hopefully will make a great addition to her outfits for Christmas parties!
