Lace Shawl

 Finished yesterday. I started it some time ago and finally finished the last few rows.

It's going to be a X-mas gift for my mum.

Pattern is out of  Romantic Lace Knitting

The yarn is Ice Yarns: Cakes Angora

It's nice and light but I expected it to be a little softer.

I used maybe 1 and a 1/4 cake

WIP Shawls x 2

I am trying something crazy. I am knitting 2 shawls at the same time.

Fingers crossed I won't get muddled up 😄

Lila Laune

Thanks to watching the World Cup the socks are flying off my needles. 😂

Another with a pattern from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. This time Pattern No 100

The yarn is Trekking Hand Art Lila Laune

Durch die Blume

HOTN: The basic sock pattern I always use (and meanwhile etched into my brain) 

I added a slightly adjusted lace pattern from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. 

The yarn is Schoppel Zauberball "Durch die Blume".

Ella Sweater WIP

I have started with my customised Sirdar Ella sweater. I have decided to use the pattern back, front and sleeves.
I changed the border to a 2x2 rib and made it longer.
Depending on how much I have left I will decide between long or 3/4 sleeves. So far I love it.

The lace pattern is from the Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible.

Kauni Lace Shawl

I found this yarn on eBay (NatLiss)

The seller is from Latvia and has an Etsy store too.

The yarn arrived within a week.

It's lace weight and will cut into your finger. 

Anyway, the pattern is out off TOPP Lacetraume called Iris

It didn't make a full-size shawl as in the book.

The shawl can be purchased here

W.I.P. Large Lace Shawl

At the moment i am working on a lace shawl made from yarn made in Bulgaria.

I have to say it's coloured beautifully and it is very light and soft.

I always buy it from a seller on eBay. She's a very nice lady and if you need different shades or packages sizes you can always ask her.

It's soooo cosy and i loooove it!!
