Finished Objects 2009 - #1

Feel the smugness! Less than a week in and I'm one project down.


















This is the Celtic Hearts Shawl, by Simple Knits, and it is fast. Really fast. I finished it in a week, with two days off in the middle - ridiculous! It's an 8-ply (DK) knit, and the pattern is easy to follow. I'd recommend this to anyone.



















It's a birthday present for my nana at the end of the month, so I'm posting it out on Friday. We're planning a jaunt up to Glamis Castle on Thursday, and my two grandmothers will need photos and details about that, so I'll send it all together.

My Garden Shawl is currently is hiatus, all because I don't have a circular knitting needle. The nearest wool store doesn't have a 3.5mm circular, and it's a 20 minute walk to the next store. I wouldn't mind, but it's snowing intermittently today. Walking whilst being snowed upon is far less fun than you'd think. Snowflakes are pointy when they hit your eyeball.

Wow, less than a week for a shawl? Unheard of!! I know your nana will love it.

And thanks for your comment to my blog. Yup, I agree, I think I'm finally ready for a new kitty. It's been almost a year since we lost Charlie. I'm ready. And I miss those kitty cuddles Sox gave me for the past two weeks!!

Amazing looking shawl. I've gotta knit myself one of these. Or maybe more. One for the beach, one for weddings....
