The musings and meanderings of a mixed media artist and yarn junkie who loves to knit,spin, crochet, make a mess, write and enjoy life. I try to follow the wheel of the year and enjoy each day of it. My art reflects that spiritual journey.

A finished throw in Colinette

Yaradge? No idea but enough for what I wanted.

Goodness me, but you romped your way through that one! Lovely.
I just love those colours. Nice warm shawl. I agree with Sue that you have romped through that.
I still think Mr Mog props you up in the corner every night with your needles in your hand so that you can knit in your sleep.
Oh it's beautiful, such lovely colours.
You do know, don't you, that "purple people" are creative, it's a scientifically proven fact!!!!!
Another truly lovely shawl Amber and full of warmth like yourself
Simply beautiful!
You are an unbelieveably fast knitter! As I recall the yarn mix was quite thick with a base of silk so it should be very warm indeed!
Thanks so much for your kind words and sage advice too.
What a gorgeous combination of colors! I also just finished reading your travel post and I love the pictures of the caravans, Thanks!
