Hi Everyone,
How are you all I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far, we had heavy rain today but I just managed to walk Bruno before we were soaked. Tomorrow appears to be looking good with sunshine on the way which will be nice.
Well today after doing some ironing and cleaning etc; I concentrated on finishing a shawl I was crocheting for myself here is a picture
the yarn I used was by Lion Brand shawl in a ball. When you purchase the yarn there is a free pattern available to download from Lion Brands website using a code on the ball band, but I had decided I would like to crochet the shawl, and I had this pattern from Inside Crochet magazine called the Ombre Shawl by Sarah Shrimpton
The pattern is easy to follow mainly consisting of trebles and chain stitches, even though I did not use the yarn as suggested I think it still works well for me anyway.
I also have a new book it arrived today called Knit Yourself Calm,
it is new out and the designer for the patterns is Lynne Rowe, there are at least 16 projects inside with plenty of helpful picture tutorials and instructions with new how to techniques for beginners.
It is a lovely book and would make a nice gift for someone you know who loves to knit.
If you want to read more about Lynne Rowe's work visit her website at The Wool Nest
there is also a monthly Pod Cast to follow.
