I have been busy knitting two baby shawls for the twin grandchildren due in May. I decided on the EZ 100th Anniversary PI Shawls, one the Camping design and the other the Hearts design.
I am extremely pleased with myself. They are just beautiful. The Camping shawl won 1st prize at the Albion Park Agricultural Show in January this year. I didn't have time to finish the Hearts shawl for any of the local shows this year, I am sure it would have been a winner too.
I have to knit some Mothers Day appropriate items for the Tuesday Night Knitters Group as we are in the Old Fire Station Community Arts Centre in Kiama for a week including the the Sunday of Mothers Day. I have started with some hot pink ladies felt slippers.
I have seen the Mermaid Tail blankets around on Facebook and decided to knit my grand daughter one. I was lucky when I went to the Reject Shop to see if they had some cheap acrylic and they had just got in a 12ply multi colour which was perfect for what I wanted. These would be lovely in pure wool, but for a child and having to be washed who knows how and her two dogs may damage it, acrylic was the best choice.
Now back to baby knitting for the twins, a small baby jacket each, same pattern, one in Blue in Patons Emotion 4ply a beautiful Merino and Cashmere yarn and the other will be in Pink, not sure of the yarn yet I will have to check out my stash on Ravelry. I will put photos up when I have finished them.
