Well now Middle's bedtime socks are finished I've been able to go back to my Age of Brass and Steam shawl relatively guilt free. I say relatively cos I owe Eldest a knitted elephant (from back when I first started knitting) which I really should find a pattern for and make a start on. See now I have mentioned it here it should motivate me to get a move on with it. I did think I had found a pattern but the crochet ears are putting me off. I am clueless about crochet and therefore uber impressed by anyone who has mastered it.
Anyway I digress, I am here to share new pics of the rather bright Age of Brass. I am loving the Crazy Zauberabll, the shawl is almost finished and I am still to find the end of the colour repeat. I thought I had got there on Monday night but now a flash of the blue has appeared and I have realised that the colour repeat has still not occurred.
There is only about 38g left on the ball now so I have taken to weighing it every couple of rows so I can be sure that I don't run out before I have finished the final section. Because of using sock yarn not DK I've been able to add a full extra repeat and then a smaller repeat which is the bit I am working on now.
I have also started work on A Shawl of my Own Invention. This is a pattern of my own which I've been mulling over for a few weeks and finally decided to make a start on. I'm using a ball of Jarwoll which was gifted to me and which I wanted to do something for me with.
It's going to be very simple and I am quite sure that when I've finished it I will find that someone else already wrote the pattern ages ago and if I'd only searched better I would have saved myself the trouble of thinking it up myself.
