Carol's Clever Little Shawl


What a wonderful easy knit. I love it. I love the yarn I knit it in, I love the colour, I love, love, love it. The yarn and colour really suit the era for which the pattern was taken from. And as it is raining today I am going to wear it to Knitters Guild. Yah for great little knits.

Pattern: Carol's Clever Little Shawl
Materials: Cleckheaton Country Naturals 8ply
Colour: 1825
Needles: Addi clicks 6mm
Amount: 6 balls

The pattern is by Carols Sanders, who created this pattern from studying an historic 1800's shawl, asks that you not sell this pattern or knit it to sell...just freely share it with others (and please give credit where it is due). This pattern is presented in Carol's original format. Enjoy!

I worked out the sock heel, it was just me being too tired, I have started to turn the heel and I have also started to knit some beanies which will be going to the homeless youth in Sydney through Youth Off The Streets food van.

SS6S.....is slowly sinking

my sock for the SS6S knitalong is slowly sinking. I am stuck on the turning the heel of the Nutkin sock, don't know if it is me, obviously it is, I must have read it wrong the other night, maybe I was too tired to understand or maybe I just don't get it, but this is the first time I have ever had a problem understanding instructions while knitting a sock. So I have put it down and have been knitting a nice small shawl for myself. I will get back to the socks when I finish the shawl.

I did manage to finish another cotton bag and 3 blue baby beanies before starting the sock though.
