Ready for a new Yarn

It's finally finished. A quick, easy knit that took longer than it should due to me not reading the directions correctly, running out of yarn & joining a bag swap that took priority. But it's finished, just in time for the cooler weather & I'm really happy with it. This would be a great stash buster project...maybe multi coloured next time? I knit 2 yarns together, swapping one when I felt like it. I wasn't too concerned about gauge, as this changed throughout; but for the style I wanted, a gauge that was "close enough" was fine.


If anyone is interested...the shawl pin is from Katherine Kowalski, she has a website at http://www.daystarhandworks.com/ & an etsy shop.

Progress (again)


I've got my act together...reading all instructions twice, just in case.
It's the Rosehip Waistcoat by Judith Avery from Issue 2.
I'm using 2 yarns held together, one thick & one thin. I raided my stash & pulled out all the textural blues. Lots of Sean Sheep, Rowan Spray & a recycled Sari Silk.
