Triangular Shawl, knitted

 Triangular knitted shawl in Hobbii Winter Glow and a Hobbii pattern which is available free.

I only needed one ball of yarn. I had a tiny bit left over.

I'm still here

 Sorry for being so lazy posting.

I am really busy with knitting/crochet and getting my 3d stuff set up again.

There is one reason why I hardly posted. The weather had been so gloomy which didn't help my mood and it doesn't make good pictures. Then as well I started to struggle with the new inhaler I got 2 months ago. I felt so terribly breathless and tired. I am now back to the old one and I feel much better.

So here is proof how busy I was. 😂

Very unlike me I crocheted the same shawl/scarf 6 times. 😱

All different colours. I hope I will have them for sale on eBay by the end of April.

Atm I am making glitzy stuff.

I have another 2 bags full of handknitted stuff I need to take pictures and put up for sale. I hope I will be able to do that next month. I have my fingers crossed my back will finally hurt a bit less than it does now.

I would go outside to take pictures but I don't have a garden. And being an Aspie I feel very uncomfortable standing outside taking pictures and then maybe even get reported because some idiot thinks I am working. As if that's work. I usually only manage about 30 minutes standing. Any more and I am in agony. 😩

Glacia Shawl

 Deramores had Scheepjes yarn on offer. Actually I found the shawl pattern first on Ravelry.

So I hade no choice but to give in and buy some yarn.

I really enjoyed knitting this. The yarn feels lovely too.

History of Trees Shawl

 After all the Advents offers by Deramores I ended up buying the crochet kit for the History of Trees shawl.

I worked with this yarn before but never finished the Hygge Shawls. I found Scheepjes Stone Washed too heavy to be comfortable. It probably would have ended to become a table runners and not stoles. So I sold the lot a few years ago.

I was a bit apprehensive about using the same yarn again because it's rather a heavy yarn. But this shawl uses a lot of treble stitches so I thought why not.

The pattern is available here

Here is the result:

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

Quick update

So, we finally got married 👫💕

Nothing spectacular just a few family members were present.

Then we jetted off to our honeymoon at my mum's in Switzerland.

Also, it was my mum's 80th birthday. 🎉

She loved her new bag btw.

I knitted the two pairs of socks I brought yarn with me pretty quickly so I had to buy some more.

I still have to take pictures of the ones I finished.

My mum wanted a shawl so I made her one in between the socks.

Those three weeks at my mum's were over pretty quickly. 

Hubby really enjoyed it. He now realised that autumn can be just as lovely in Switzerland. No need to go during summer when it's too hot.

So we filled the suitcase with yarn (only kidding) and food.

So, that was it.

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 😄

It's Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal.

Eyelet Triangle Shawl

Lion Brand Mandala Colour - Sphinx (216)

It's lovely soft acrylic yarn. I think anyone who is sensitive to wool will appreciate this.

Hygge CAL

I have started with one of the planned Hygge Shawls.

I am just not the start and stop person. So I am waiting for the CAL to finish and then I will make both.

I bought this and the Mermaid colour pack.

I have also bought some backing fabric.

I'll add those pictures later.

I and lots of others struggled with the surface crochet.

I thought embroidery and used the chain stitch. It works very well.

I bought the backing fabric from here

It's pretty easy to do without knowing any Dutch.

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.

stenliyarn.com

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.

Anyway i have knitted about 60% and i am going to wind the 2nd skein now before i carry on knitting

Warm Lace Stole

Just finished this one last night. I have not yet decided if i will keep or sell it. Maybe i just keep it a while so i can enjoy looking at it ;O)

It is made from King Cole Mirage yarn which is 50% Wool and 50% Arcylic

It's really cosy and warm and would keep the chill of your shoulders.

And this is how it looks all done up :O)
