My friend got married so I knit her a shawl. This is Wild Swan by Nim Teasdale knit in Jamieson's of Shetland 1ply cobweb. Yes, I knit a fingering weight shawl in cobweb weight. My brain is now on holiday

I finished my DMC Cherry Blossom cross stitch, sewed some felt into the back of the hoop and tied a pink ribbon in a bow to hang it, then I finally got around to finishing my black cat stitch into a bag charm. Feeling rather pleased with myself actually

I finished my Tangled Bliss socks last night! They took 35 hours to knit (I usually take 20 to 25 hours to knit socks for myself) and used 85g/369m of yarn. They don't match the pattern (I used 2 colours instead of 3) or even each other but I love them! (Sock Madness r7)
