knit along


Joining with Ginny (Small Things) for this weeks knitalong.

I have read several blogs recently where people have made the 'oaklet shawl' so I have jumped on the bandwagon and have joined them.  This is my version which is made in Old maiden aunt merino/silk 4ply in bluebell.  This is for my mother in law whose birthday is in just over a weeks time so hopefully I will get it finished in time.

  1. It does seem like everyone is knitting this shawl. I've also thought of jumping on the bandwagon, but just haven't had time.

  2. I am knitting a shawl that is similar to this. And I am working on a Christmas Fairy to share the pattern on Friday...if I can get it done in time.

  3. Love the color you've chosen and nice progress on the shawl. Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll get it done in time. Okay, maybe my toes crossed instead. If I crossed my fingers, how would I knit?

  6. I'm in awe of anyone who can knit! I've never mastered the art. Thank you for popping over and for the tip re chicken pox. I hope this is nearly finished in time for the birthday!

  7. I keep meaning to make a shawl; it seems like an ideal project, big enough to feel like an achievement but without the scary sizing issues of jumpers and cardis!
