So in December I designed my first shawl (yay!) I've always wanted to do it, and this is a very simple one to start with.

It hasn't been blocked yet, and this will make the spaces between the stripes more apparent. Also the lattice border will be more open and lace like. I quite like the little turned up picot edging and I'm pondering on whether to turn it outwards when blocking.
I've also made a pair of Sweet Tea fingerless mittens to match Swoon, photos to follow..........
I've had a wonderful year with a group of friends here who meet monthly to stitch and bitch. It's been great to pass on some of the tradition and eat, knit and laugh with a fabulous bunch of women!
