Shawl Relay



I've finished the Clapotis, okay I ran out of yarn and as I really didn't want to buy any more of this particular yarn I just used some from my stash to finish.

So I have a mostly green Clapotis with one blue point. I think I will end up knitting this pattern again as it's a good TV knit and delivers a really nice shawl. Next time I think I'll go for a variegated yarn.

I'm not doing to bad for the Ravelympics, so far I've completed three projects and there are still a couple of days left, wonder what else I can get done before the closing ceremony?

Woodland Shawl update.



I seem to have been knitting this forever and it doesn't appear to be progressing very quickly. I hope to change that this week as I've now finished my daughter's prom dress (will do a separate post for that later) and have managed another couple of repeats.

At first I was a little disappointed with the yarn I was using, I wanted it to be ethereal in appearance as that's how I always think of elves, especially the elves from LOTR. Now that I've knitted a bit of it I'm happier as it actually makes me think of elvish chain mail.
