3: a delicate shawl in mink, thick scarf in brown, and the sunshine blanket ~ this week's yarn along


For Christmas (or was it birthday?) I was given
It's lovey, so soft and so very delicate but with a 
still noticeable durability for all it's delicate features... 


It took a while to make into a ball.


I am making a shawl,
as easy as is possible:
start with three and increase.


I am using my Oma's knitting needles
that I was given for my birthday.


I am hoping for a beautiful finish to this,
and it is so calming to knit.
It will take me a while but that
is just fine!


Cast on a bulky brown scarf,
started with some knit rows and now
doing stockinette.
Will be a DV Christmas present,
size 13 needles.


The sunshine squares blanket is going well.
Much work to be done on it yet
but it will be cute and cheery when it's done! 


I loved this book.
It was so many wonderful things.
I wrote about this book yesterday.
It's such a lovely book;
encouraging, restorative, at times light and funny,
at times enlightening, profound;
it was full of love and encouragement.
It was exactly what I needed.
