It's not ALWAYS about the quilting


current travel knitting:
gee whiz, what a surprise ... it's a SHAWL!

pattern - improvised
yarn - mystery 8ply machine wash wool of some sort, from the magic back room of special discounted delights at BWM.
A trip through Dorothy-the-Dinosaur in a nice hot bath of Landscapes Clematis, Sarsarilla, Wild Rasberry and Night Blue has ensured that it now bears absolutely no resemblance to its original cream shade.
needles - 5.5 mm KP Harmony

Lovely colors in that one.
Do you sit in front of the fire each night with a new shawl on? LOL

Great dyeing. And lovely design. Looks like it will be nice and warm -- just in time for summer??

Dorothy-the-Dinosaur? Have we met her and I've just forgotten?

Hi Allison - Dorothy is my 'for dyeing only ' original microwave who lives in the carport. She's 30+ years old and enormous ... so perfect for dyeing.
and Ms Jane ? This one's theoretically for Nadie which will be her 2nd for the year [ and there was that pink one that went to a certain mutual friend of ours in Tassie and the brown one made with YOUR largesse that went to DIL ] but yes I guess I could wear a different colour for each night of the week LOL

Purple shawl! Want! Want!

(Well, the quilt, too, but you can take that as read.)
