I have started my first adult shawl!
I am knitting it in a 4 ply 100% Alpaca yarn in Denim, that I picked up at a charity shop for 50p.

I managed to finish the “Seduction” Socks for the Interweave Sockalong

My other half, David, has started his own [...]

A while ago I bought some Wendy Mistral Chunky yarn. I had hoped to [...]
