knitting

Though there is still a lot

of other projects in progress

there was a lot of knitting the last week !

I found a pattern on Ravelry

the Kindness KAL Shawl by Jaala Spiro

and if you knitted the shawl before March 1

money would be donated to a good cause.

Now that is kindness !

I was a bit late to start

but the pattern isn't too difficult

and well written !

It was just the right project for

e lovely soft skein of indigo dyed alpaca

that I got from Birgit

In my stash was also a bit of 

Drops Kid mohair,

just a fine combination !

Because I used a Knitpro with changeble points

I easily could use a "life line" now and then ...

(you can see it in the right picture)

Using Judi's Surprisingly Stretchy bind-off 

so nearly there ...

And here she is after blocking !

I love how the two yarns work together !!!

SPRING
