My shawl for the Downton Abbey knit-along is finished, and I am so very happy with it. It has just finished blocking; I will share pictures just as soon as I can get someone to take proper ones!
I have oh so many lists floating around of things I want to make next, but I am trying to be disciplined and finish off at least one of those unfinished projects first. Since Kaya is growing and his clothes have a limited life span, his vest is a priority. So I’m trying to buckle down on it. I mean, how hard can it be?!
With regards to reading, Life of Pi‘s short chapters suit me very much at the moment, as that’s all I’m managing these days! That shawl had me very well occupied..
p.s. There is a little giveaway over at the Stitch & Purl Facebook page. Like & Share, and you could win a gift voucher to spent in the Etsy shop. Open to everyone, until the end of February! xx
I love the lacy edging! No wonder it took forever and a day. I also love the striped colors. I bet while you read this comment you are wearing it right now, or are going to!
I was!!
Beautiful lace! I’m currently working on a lacy shawl, so can truly appreciate the labor of love anything knit in lace can be. Love the vest colorway…
It does take a lot of time and energy – but it’s all worth it in the end!
That knit is stunning.
Tanks Taira!
I agree, the lace is stunning! I’m looking forward to seeing it.
Oooh, I love your shawl already; you had me at Downton Abbey!
I’m a new follower from the Yarn Along and just love your blog. I’m an avid crocheter but have been trying to learn how to knit for some time now. I get a little better each time I try, but I’m still nowhere NEAR being able to make anything worth talking about, let along a shawl as gorgeous as yours! I’ll be sure to hop over and check out the giveaway on your Facebook page, as well! That lovely hand stitched “Joy” definitely caught my attention in your sidebar. 
Hi Kim, thanks for saying hello!

One of my favorite books
I’m sure I would love it even more if I managed to spend a bit more time reading
i love the stripes on your shawl, gorgeous!!
Oh, such a pretty shawl, I really like the lace edging. I’m reading Life of Pi right now as well, and I have to say I’m enjoying it quite a bit,
your shawl looks gorgeous, can’t wait to see more photos! LOVED that book too.
Gorgeous shawl. I do so love Kirsten’s designs. I made Ziggity last year with similar colors and love it to bits. Good luck with the vest.
