On My Needles,,,,

Remember this shawl,,, I started a while back,,,, well,,,
I have nearly finished the first half. It has taken me a few months to knit this as I only tend to knit at the weekends and when I am on my own and not too tired. If DH is home I get distracted, and I can't knit with the telly or radio on either.
I have started another shawl,,,, found the recipe on Ravelry,,,
I started this last weekend,,, I know, I know,, not a lot done, but I got up to row 21 on the chart and I had gone wrong so I had to rip it all out. AND it is the first time I have used a knitting pattern chart!!

When a PP forum friend went to the Festival of Quilts recently, I asked her to look out for the Sew Cherished stand.

They are pre-printed water-soluble stitch guides. I thought I would try them on my crazy patches.

Leftovers!

Does anybody out there want roughly 400g of my ready cut hexies???

These are all leftover from my hexie quilt that I made.
Leave me a comment, and I will pick a recipient at the weekend. All I ask for in return is the postage cost.
As of Friday 6.47pm,,, I have only one comment,, so Kath,, if you want to email me your snail mail address,, I will post the hexies tomorrow or Monday!!!!
And this picture of the farmer muck spreading. Is it just me???,, or do others enjoy watching farmers at work??
