…if you still want to enter the prize draw then there’s a few more days to do so. The draw will now be open until Sunday 10th June (as I had forgotten we are away for the weekend!) so tell your friends/colleagues/family and come donate to a wonderful cause.

There are also only a few days to go on my wedding gift knitting. The couple in question are getting married in Italy on 16th June but will be flying out on Thursday 14th so I need to have the gifts finished on Tuesday night so I can give them on Wednesday…..hmmm

So, the shawl is finished

it’s had a soak

and is currently blocking in the spare room upstairs -

I’m really please with how it’s turned out and hope the recipient will love it too!
